摘要

The inclusion of dynamic risk factors (DRFs) to aid case formulations and inform therapy has become standard clinical practice and it has been suggested that the specific DRFs most strongly associated with recidivism should be the primary focus of treatment. In this chapter, we argue that due to a number of conceptual problems with the concept of DRF, they should not be the focus of treatment. A more worthwhile approach is to view them as signaling devices that highlight important themes in people’s lives around the time they offended. As such, they can inform case formulation and treatment planning.
