The Essen Climate Evaluation Schema – EssenCES: A Manual and More

The social atmosphere in forensic hospitals and prisons is crucial to their success – this "manual and more" shows how to assess the climate and identify ways of improving it. The social climate in settings such as forensic psychiatric hospitals and prisons is crucial to their success. The Essen Climate Evaluation Schema (EssenCES) described here is a short, well-validated questionnaire that measures three essential facets of an institution's social atmosphere. An overview of the EssenCES is followed by detailed advice on how to administer and score it and how to interpret findings, as well as reference norms from various countries and types of institutions. The EssenCES "manual and more" is thus a highly useful tool for researchers, clinicians, and service managers working in forensic settings.
