N2  - BACKGROUND: Very few articles have been published in professional journals concerning the design, content, and results of treatment programs for violent forensic psychiatric patients in the Netherlands. AIM: To describe the development of a treatment program for forensic psychiatric patients with a cluster B personality disorder. In this program a treatment for aggression was combined with a treatment for substance abuse. METHOD: Clinical findings obtained with both treatments are discussed, followed by a description of new modules that were added because of recent research results. results The combined treatment program targets the principal dynamic factors that cause individuals to display criminal behaviour. CONCLUSION: Empirical research is needed in order to find out whether the treatment as a whole produces better results than the two treatments administered separately.<p />  <p>Language: nl</p>
