Motivatie te meten?

This study was based on the following two questions: 1. Is intrinsic motivation to realise behavioural change in drug addicts in the criminal justice system measurable, and are there instruments that measure the concept of intrinsic motivation in drug addicts in the criminal justice system? 2. Which instruments offer sufficient psychometric guarantees in terms of reliability and validity, among other things

Psychometrische kwaliteiten van de Recidive Inschattingsschalen (RISc)

In agreement with the 'What works' key principle, the aim of the Risk Assessment Scales (RISc) is to assess an offender's likelihood of recidivism and to assess static and dynamic criminogenic factors that form the basis of this risk

Evidence-based treatments for children with trauma-related psychopathology as a result of childhood maltreatment: a systematic review

This is a systematic review of evidence-based treatments for children exposed to childhood maltreatment. Because exposure to childhood maltreatment has been associated with a broad range of trauma-related psychopathology (e.g., PTSD, anxiety, suicidal ideation, substance abuse) and with aggressive and violent behavior, this review describes psychotherapeutic treatments which focus on former broad range of psychopathological outcomes. A total of 26 randomized controlled clinical trials and seven non-randomized controlled clinical trials published between 2000 and 2012 satisfied the inclusionary criteria and were included. These studies dealt with various kinds of samples, from sexually abused and maltreated children in child psychiatric outpatient clinics or in foster care to traumatized incarcerated boys. A total of 27 studies evaluated psychotherapeutic treatments which used trauma-focused cognitive, behavioral or cognitive-behavioral techniques; only two studies evaluated trauma-specific treatments for children and adolescents with comorbid aggressive or violent behavior; and four studies evaluated psychotherapeutic treatments that predominantly focused on other mental health problems than PTSD and used non-trauma focused cognitive, behavioral or cognitive-behavioral techniques. The results of this review suggest that trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is the best-supported treatment for children following childhood maltreatment. However, in line with increased interest in the diagnosis of complex PTSD and given the likely relationship between childhood maltreatment and aggressive and violent behavior, the authors suggest that clinical practice should address a phase-oriented approach. This review concludes with a discussion of future research directions and limitation
