Adam works for the Scottish Prison Service where he is a psychology manager at HMP Cornton Vale, Scotland’s only female prison and is completing his PhD part time. His thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of psycho-educational interventions as a first phase to helping address and stabilise offenders with histories of interpersonal trauma and associated mental health symptomatology. Adam’s data collection seeks to utilise an RCT framework which can pose its own challenges in a forensic setting and is undertaking a meta-analytic review of the relevant research in this area of treatment.
