Bridging the gap between risk assessment and treatment: The KAOS and ARMIDILO
1. Development and preliminary results
from a cognitiv behavioral
skillstraining program for mentally
disabled patients in mandatory care
KAOS

4. Aim of the National unit
• To protect the society from further severe
violence
• To give persons convicted to mandatory
care treatment for their behavioral
problems
10. KAOS in a nutshell
cognitiv behavioral therapy
skillstraining
risk-analysis and risk-planning
in a groupsetting
with alternativ modalities
Milleu-therapists helps both in the
groupsessions
and with the home assignments
and as liaisons to both the institution and the
participants parents/siblings/workplace
11. Target population
• Persons with ID convicted to mandatory care
• Persons with ID convicted to prison
• Persons with ID in custody
11
12. Patient characteristics
• Mild to moderate mental retardation
• Comorbid psychiatric diagnosis, such as
psychosis, autism, depression, anxiety and sexual
disorders
• A history of severe violence/sexual violence/child
molestation or arson
• A history of avoiding or not completing therapy
12
13. Principle-based, not manualized
• Ecological understanding and focus
• Principles from evidence-based treatment for
similar disorders
• Empowerment
• Psychoeducation
• “Choosing from the meny”
• “Anticipation of failure”
13
14. Principles from evidence-based
treatment
• There are no evidence-based treatment for
patients with ID, severe violence, and
comorbid severe psychiatric disorders
• But KAOS applies principles from treatment
of other patientgroups with severe
problems
• and treatment of patient with ID in general
14
15. Ecology
• KAOS understands that effective and
lasting change depends on transaction with
the environment
• treatment got to have the "real word" in
focus
15
20. Empowerment
Participation in KAOS is voluntary
Participants can choose themes, but
persuasion is used
Participants can choose "helpers"
Trainers and helpers adjust KAOS to the
participants needs and learningstyles
25. Patient characteristics
• Mild to moderate mental retardation
• Comorbid psychiatric diagnosis, such as
psychosis, autism, depression, anxiety and sexual
disorders
• A history of severe violence/sexual violence/child
molestation or arson
• A history of avoiding or not completing therapy
25
26. Principle-based, not manualized
• Ecological understanding and focus
• Principles from evidence-based treatment for
similar disorders
• Empowerment
• Psychoeducation
• “Choosing from the meny”
• “Anticipation of failure”
26
28. ”Choosing from the meny”
• The participants chooses which of the
themes they want to work with from the
manual
• The first ones should be rather simple, the
last ones must relate to their indexcrime(s)
• The participants make their own group-
rules; reinforcers included
31. Anticipation of failure; systems
Clinical psychology has a long tradition of
“hyping” new therapies and techniques
It is a challenge to apply therapy in a way
that doesnt depend on a particular
therapist, institution or administrative
system in an ever changing world
KAOS seeks a dialogue with parents, staff,
cooperating agencies etc before starting
treatment
This is done in the first phases of KAOS
33. Anticipation of failure; individuals
• People in general overestimates their degree
of control
• And underestimates future risk
• KAOS normalizes this
• and insists that participants try to learn from
their own and other participants experiences
• KAOS applies roleplay, skillstraining and risk-
scenarios for sharing succes and failures
34. Anticipation of failure; individuals
• People in general overestimates their degree
of control
• And underestimates future risk
• KAOS normalizes this
• and insists that participants try to learn from
their own and other participants experiences
• KAOS applies roleplay, skillstraining and risk-
scenarios for sharing succes and failures
35. KAOS consists two parts
• BASIC
• EXTRA
• Two themes are chosen
• Evaluation
• Then two new themes, etc
• Total KAOS is completed in two months or never
35
37. EXTRA
More about feelings
Anxiety
ABC
SMART

38. Skillstraining: Feelings
“Bad feelings”
What kind of bad feelings
do we have?
How do you recognize
bad feelings?
How do you recognize
that other people have
bad feelings?
40. Skillstraining: Feelings
“good feelings”
What can you do to make
the good feelings come
back again?
What can you do to make
good feelings stay that
way?
What can you do to make
other people get good
feelings?
41. Present study (pilot study)
only 5 participants in 4 institutions
Observation and evaluation after
completion of the first clinical phase
Themes: "Understanding emotions" and
“Friends"
41
42. Aims
• Reducing risk of new violence
• Improving social fuctioning in the local
institution
• Improving quality of life
43. Pre- post- instruments
ADD
DASH2
SCL90-r
ADL-instruments
FU (staffobservation of aggresion)
Riskassesment; HCR/SVR/Armidillo
Soas
Customary checklists for targeted skills
44. Results from pre-post assesment
• The preliminary results is not yet analyzed
• Collaboration with the University i
Trondheim (NTNU)
45. Preliminary result
• Keep it simple! Its never to simple
• Good feelings are contagious
• We have to prepare the sessions better
• Choice and use of reinforcers are very
important
• The role of trainer and co-trainer needs
clarification
• Roleplay, roleplay, roleplay, and in “real
life” or simulated real life
46. Evaluation by the staff
• Staff reports that the participants make
better use of social skills
• Non-participants as well
• And even the staff
• And we are optimistic
Im going to present a new treatmentprogram for a patient group whith these problems. At the same time. On e of the problems we are facing is that these concepts are not very well defined. Crime is of course about breaking the law. But the penaltysystem and prisons dont cooperate very well with the mental heaklth system or have much knowledge about persons with ID. Even though in Norway we now know that 10 persent of the prisonpopulants have a Mental retartdation as measured by a cutoff of IQ 85. The mental health system dont aways have knowledge about the needs of persons with ID. And all these conceps are not well defined, or at least regarding to persons with ID
In Norway persons that commit severe crime can be sentenced to three different ” particular reactions ” ; based on if they were psychotic, have severe personality disorders or have a modereate to severe ID. This last group is sentenced to Mandatory care and are received in Trondheim at the Central Unit.
In other wa treatment centerords; we are both a prison and
But Hoh?
But ” our ” group doesnt fit into these treatment. I think a basic principle in therapy has to do with power and responsibility. It is our duty to adjust treatment to the patients, not the opposite
Insight will not necessary transform to behavior change
And behaviour change will not necessary generalize to other situasions or last long without the same reinforcers
Wiaiting for trial or verdict
I will not og through all the principles here, but just highlight three of them
This is the main problem with institutions

Alle deltakerne har hver sin mappe, der de setter inn de ferdige produktene de arbeider med i timen eller som hjemmelekse. Her settes også inn diplomer for gjennomgått tema i KAOS. Mappa skal være både skrytealbum, men også kunne hjelpe deltakeren å huske hva man skal trene på, gjøre i vanskelig situasjoner.
This is a picture from this phace
Temaet vi begynte på etter påske er de dårlige følelsene. Målsetingene innefor temaet var; (Les lysbilde!) Vi satser på samme oppbygning som i første tema, først meg selv, så de andre. Det viste seg også at det var flere dårlige følelser enn gode følelser å spore i gruppa. Vi begynte med å vise bilder av personalet som viser forskjellige dårlige følelser, og det var artig for alle! Det ble vist frem følelser som deltakerne trodde de var alene om å ha.... Og som personalet ihvertfall ikke hadde...
Other reasearch as shown that patients with psychosis is better at recognizing social situations and what to do, than actually doing it
Del 3 blir hoveddelen i temaet «mestring av følelser.». Her skal vi sette sammen del 1 og del 2 og sammen finne strategier for hva vi skal gjøre når vi har det dårlig, eller når noen andre har det dårlig. Her ligger også hovedvekten av innhildet i manualen; hva kan man gjøre selv for å få det bra, hvordan hjelpe andre å få det bra? Men som sagt; først må vi vite hvordan det er å ha det bra, og hvordan det er å ha det dårlig. Og ikke minst, kunne kjenne igjen disse følelsene hos andre.
Evalueringa av det vi hittil har gjort kan i hovedtrekk beskrives slik; Ingenting kan gjøres for enkelt. Vi overvurderer hele tiden hva brukerne forstår, og vi undervurderer hvor komplisert følelser egentlig er. Det så vi etterhvert også hos oss selv. Følelser er smittsomt. Dette blir en av læresetningene vi håper brukerne skal sitte igjen med. Om npoen har det bra, smitter det. Og det gjør det jaggu om noen har det dårlig også.... Manualen er samling med idèer og strategier. Oppbygningen av opplæringen måtte bli mer detaljert, med tydeligere målsettinger. Og vi måtte se alt i en helhet. KAOS-stjernene var veldig viktige. Og vi tror at summen av alle forsterkerne gjorde at vi ikke har plagdes med fravær eller uteblivelse fra KAOS. Som jo er det viktigste kriteriet for å lykkes; at deltakerne faktisk er tilstede. Vi så også at mye av arbeidet i KAOS-timene ble lagt til trener. Vi hadde ikke vært flinke nok til å definere hjelperrollen. Ble veldig slitsomt å holde fokus som trener, nå man samtidig skal hjelpe bruker å «svare rett», f.eks. Vi til slutt at det var viktig å gjøre øvelser hver time. Noen timer hadde vi bare med prating, og da var ikke konsentrasjonen det den burde være. Med øvelser ble det oppbrudd, fliring og læring.
