Abstract :
[en] Dual Diagnosis is a key topic in the treatment of patients with intellectual disability (ID) in forensic hospital. These patients are hospitalized under Belgium's Social Defense Law, an undetermined measure confinement of persons recognized as incapable of controlling their actions owing to mental disorder. Although, heterogeneity of psychiatric disorders among intellectual disabilities patients is highlighted, there are few available literature on Dual Diagnosis among forensic patients. Data suggest that psychiatric comorbidity is more the rule than the exception among forensic populations. This study specifies the psychiatric and criminological characteristics of Dual Diagnosis forensic inpatients. Methods: We compared an ID forensic patients group (total IQ <70; N =67) to a no ID forensic patients group (total IQ> 70, N =105). IQ was evaluated with the WAIS-III or WAIS-IV. Mental disorders were assessedwith theMINI and the SCID-II.The offenseswere brought out of criminal records. Age, Length of stay and social characteristics were also considered in the analysis. Results: Data Analyzes identify the prevalence of Dual Diagnosis and specify the diagnosis comorbidity prevalence and their associations with criminological characteristics. Conclusions: These results are discussed in the light of the scientific literature and clinical implications.We also discuss the incremental difficulties of care forDualDiagnosis forensic patients in terms of treatment but also of social rehabilitation.
