Semi-structured interviews were used to explore the subjective experiential claims of seven male firesetters with mild intellectual disabilities residing in a forensic intellectual disability hospital. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to interpret participants\u2019 meaning making of their firesetting. Five super-ordinate themes emerged from the analysis: (a) \u201cthe importance of the first fire,\u201d (b) \u201cfiresetting to escape distress,\u201d (c) \u201cfiresetting to enable positive emotional experiences,\u201d (d) \u201cfiresetting to communicate with services,\u201d and (e) \u201cFire Setters Treatment Programme.\u201d The analysis provides an understanding of why some firesetting behaviours emerge and highlights factors that contribute to the maintenance and desistence of repeat firesetting acts. The findings are considered in relation to evolving risk assessment measures and risk reduction strategies for facilitating rehabilitation into community settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0306624x15575322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,24]],"date-time":"2015-03-24T22:57:49Z","timestamp":1427237869000},"page":"1278-1297","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Subjective Experiences of Firesetting by Men With Mild Intellectual Disabilities Detained in a Secure Hospital"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"John","family":"Rose","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Birmingham, UK"},{"name":"St Andrews, Northampton, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gemma","family":"Lees-Warley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation NHS Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Su","family":"Thrift","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0306624X15575322","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3148.1998.tb00035.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0306624X15575322","unstructured":"Arson Prevention Bureau.
