Abstract
One in ten patients in secure mental health settings have a conviction for deliberate firesetting. This chapter views the issue of inpatient care and management from a forensic mental health nursing perspective. • Hodges’ Health Career – Care Domains – Model (HCM; Hodges, 1998) is used to provide an overview of the political, biological, psychological and sociological aspects of care and management. • Nurses can deliver and/or support all aspects of care and treatment and have particularly significant roles related to management of relational security and recovery-oriented practice. The HCM can be usefully supplemented by a firesetting-specific model to enhance nursing assessment.
