Abstract

Within the criminal Justice System in the UK one-third of prisoners self-identified as having a learning difficulty and/or disability. This is broadly consistent with formal assessment of the needs of offenders, with 29% of the offender population having a learning disability. In the UK, NHS and private/independent sector secure care (Forensic) provides assessment and treatment for men and women who have come into contact within the Criminal Justice System and have mental health needs, a personality disorder, and/a learning disability. Patients in these services are often detained under the Mental Health Act (1983) and/or have licence conditions that have been set by the Ministry of Justice. Interpersonal art psychotherapy was developed within secure care as an accessible psychological intervention for adults with mild intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning. A feasibility randomised controlled trial of interpersonal art psychotherapy showed that assessment of key feasibility objectives were met and the trial procedures were acceptable, indicating progression to a definitive trial.
