Mission Statement
Members of the Association believe that those who engage in criminal and offending
behaviour not only impact on society by their actions, but behave as they do in part
because they have been impacted upon.
Our clients’ rights to ethical and humane treatment are in no way diminished because
they have diminished the rights of others.
We subscribe to the view that therapeutic treatment must go beyond punishment and
restraint, and be aimed at healing, and at reducing offending behaviour, giving due
regard both to the client’s worth and the need for public protection.

FTA Spring Conference, 2010
New Perspectives on Violence
Saturday 13th February 2010. Uckfield, East Sussex.
Our Keynote Speaker will be
Di Salters
PTSTA, South Africa.
Healing the Precursors to Criminality
Di is a very experienced psychotherapist working with forensic clients in South African prisons and in the townships. She brings a unique wealth of personal experience and cultural understanding to working with members of the community who have otherwise been written-off, marginalised and prejudged. Her approach is truly inspiring and uplifting and this presentation will be essential for anyone who works with forensic or marginalised ethnic minority clients.
The Keynote Speech will be supported by presentations on practice issues arising from working in UK prisons and we hope to have an equally valuable presentation on working with intrafamilial sexual abuse.
