This paper aims to outline the human capacity for harmfulness and details the role of trauma and adversity in the consolidation of harmful capacities.
The paper is a theoretical overview and offers a rationale for developing more trauma sensitive practices.
The paper proposes compassion focussed therapy (CFT) as an overarching approach to organising interventions.
The paper invites practitioners to develop a holistic approach to forensic interventions incorporating a collaborative formulation and personal objectives for service users.
