| Summary: | "This handbook is a collection of foundational materials for competency restoration providers who work with adult pretrial defendants in the U.S. We first describe the legal context related to adjudicative competence, and provide an overview of foundational competency restoration practices. We expand upon these foundational resources by explaining how various clinical interventions can be adapted to help restore individuals to competency. We attempt to explain and model a holistic, multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary, and culturally-conscious approach to restoration. Covering empirically-informed, theoretical, and creative approaches that can be individualized for each specific defendant, we aim to encourage and facilitate best practices in competency restoration. The reader is encouraged to adopt the interventions illustrated, within the scope of their professional competencies, to address defendant-specific barriers to adjudicative competence. Unfortunately, there is still very little outcome research on the utility of incorporating these and other clinical approaches in competency restoration. Competency restoration providers are encouraged to consider adapting other treatment modalities not mentioned in this handbook (i.e., particularly those which are empirically supported, or newly developed, for clinical use) to facilitate competency restoration"-- Provided by publisher. |
