Research Expertise

Professor Kennedy has a long standing interest in the psychopathology of fear and anger, violent behaviour and functional mental capacity. This has developed into researching the experimental psychopathology of moral delusions and regarding working alliance in forensic psychiatry. A parallel and closely related research theme has been the use of models of care in forensic psychiatry and psychiatry more generally, including mathematical modelling of stratifed therapeutic security, models of length of stay, the development of structured professional judgement instruments for triage according to need for therpaeutic security, clinical triage of waiting list priorities, assessment of treatment response relevant to reducing risk of violence and reducing need for therapeutic security, with forensic recovery. These measures have led to international collaborations with replication studies in the UK, Belgium, Italy, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.Research focuses on the judgement support frameworks within the model of care. Current international collaborative work includes quantifying excellence in forensic psychiatry services and extending these findings and frameworks to all of psychiatric services.
