De Amsterdamse aanpak 'Psychiatrische -Patiënten, Potentieel Gevaar'.

The Amsterdam approach to potentially dangerous psychiatric patients: The person-oriented approach 'Psychiatric Patients, Potential Danger' targets a small population of adults in Amsterdam with a psychiatric disorder who are not adequately in care and pose a threat to themselves and their surroundings. The public health service, with organizations from the care, social and safety sector, tries to restore adequate care/treatment provision in absence of possibilities to deploy criminal law interventions and/or forced care. Its main aim is to reduce the chance of violent incidents with a major impact on society. This paper describes the development and methods of this approach and the main characteristics of the target population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
