REPORT OF THE INQUIRY INTO THE CARE OF XXX XXX
SOUTHERN DERBYSHIRE HEALTH AUTHORITY & DERBYSHIRE COUNTY
COUNCIL
August 1996
I have mounted an anonymised version of the report here as I believe it is of fundamental
importance. It touches the heart of the need for systemic thinking as opposed to knee-jerk
confidentiality thinking (i.e. a fully informed and considered confidentiality contract
rather than some automatic assumption of some sort of confidentiality), on the importance
of counsellors in training having experience of the very difficult issues of assessment of
dangerousness and of level of "psychosis" or "primary process" and
the need for teams to collaborate and understand that management of dangerousness involves
very careful consideration of the families even of adult patients and of therapies other
than pharmacological even when pharmacological therapies are being used and are clearly
having benefit
As such it touches on all my interests: ethics, epistemology, counselling and psychotherapy,
forensic work and family/systemic work. I hope others will find it useful and will feedback
their thoughts on the report to me
