However, to date there have been no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of such programmes with this population. In the first RCT of a cognitive skills programme with MDOs we aimed to determine if participation in the Reasoning and Rehabilitation (R&amp;R) programme was associated with improvements in social\u2013cognitive skills and thinking styles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291711001553_sec_a002\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 84 men with a primary diagnosis of psychotic disorder and a history of violence were recruited from medium-secure forensic units and allocated to receive R&amp;R (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=44) or treatment as usual (TAU;<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=40). At baseline and post-treatment interviews, participants completed questionnaires to assess social problem-solving, criminal attitudes, anger experience, blame externalizing and perspective-taking. Researchers were not blind to group status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291711001553_sec_a003\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The R&amp;R group demonstrated significant improvements on measures of social problem-solving relative to the TAU group, some of which were maintained at 12 months post-treatment.

This study establishes that multi-site RCTs can be conducted in medium-secure forensic units.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291711001553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,16]],"date-time":"2011-08-16T13:33:47Z","timestamp":1313501627000},"page":"557-569","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["A multi-site randomized controlled trial of a cognitive skills programme for male mentally disordered offenders: social\u2013cognitive outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"A.
