Abstract
ABSTRACT A Strengths Model of violence risk assessment, integrating a strengths-based psychosocial history in mental health recovery and protective factors of violent risk reduction, is proposed to address the concern about overprediction of violence in assessment with forensic mental health patients based on risk factors of violence. A case illustration is presented to demonstrate the Model’s capability to promote a more balanced violence risk assessment and formulate individualized risk management and recovery plan predicated on the person’s strengths and resources. Implications for clinical practice and the potential in research to enhance predictive validity and accuracy in violence risk assessment are discussed.
