Summary: "The Camberwell Assessment of Need Forensic Version (CANFOR) is an individual needs assessment scale designed to identify to needs of people with mental health concerns who are in contact with forensic mental health services. It was developed by members of the Section of Community Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, in collaboration with clinicians at The Bracton Centre, a secure psychiatric facility operated by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. The CANFOR is based on the Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN), a needs assessment scale designed to assess the needs of people with severe and/or enduring mental health problems (Phelan et al., 1995; Slade et al., 1999; Slade & Thornicroft, 2020). This is the 2nd edition of the CANFOR book; the 1st edition was published by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2003. In this 2nd edition we provide some updated guidance and minor changes, reflecting on our experiences with its implementation and use for research and in routine clinical practice over the last 17 years. Of specific note, we have changed the name and scope of two of the CANFOR domains to better reflect contemporary situations and circumstances. We have changed the Child care domain to Dependents in this 2nd edition to reflect changes that are emerging associated with an ageing population. We have also changed the Telephone domain to Digital communication to better reflect other additional and/or alternative ways of communicating with others (for example through social media)"-- Provided by publisher.
