Читать книгу Adult Deliberate Firesetting - Theresa A. Gannon - Страница 17

This book consolidates the research evidence into a practical guide to inform the assessment and treatment of adults who set fires. Evidence-based practice is the ultimate goal. However, admittedly, many elements of this book are evidence-informed (Bonta & Andrews, 2017) rather than evidence-based. As discussed in this chapter and further interrogated throughout this book, the research literature is yet to be saturated with clinical trials and/or quasi-experimental research designs evaluating varying methods to assess risk and reduce reoffending. Nonetheless, existing theories and research do provide sufficient steer for clinicians to make informed judgements.
