Abstract

This qualitative, participatory action research study examined treatment planning from the perspectives of 29 inpatients and 16 service providers at a Canadian forensic mental health hospital. Qualitative data produced by indepth interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants’ narratives clustered around six themes: (a) It's all about the patient: Involving patients; (b) Other professionals at the table: Including other professionals; (c) Onward and upward: Progressing through the hospital; (d) Know me for who I am: Understanding the patient; (e) Keep me in the loop: Sharing information with patients; and (f) To trust or not to trust: Openness, honesty, and trust.
