Only another lurker would use such a term. I have spent the last two years in seeking the beginnings of an answer to your question about role. That is what I now believe that I have- merely the beginning of an answer. The disciplines who became involved in this included a reverend gentleman, consultant forensic psychiatrists and clinical forensic psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, social workers, sociologists and criminal investigators as well as the many nurses from each country. In the end they all contributed to the book and I find it imossible to precis all the many differences in role that they have all identified.
Some differences are in terms of complexity or intensity or depth of working.
There is no assurance of confidentiality for the patient These are just a few of the myriad of ways identified by all the contributors to both the study and the book. Hope this helps. The list is working very well indeed. I am out of touch but am I correct in saying this. Has no R.M.N. or Phd.
