Abstract / Description
There are an increased number of people imprisoned every year in England and Wales. Whilst in prison up to 13% of prisoners engage in self harm, (HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, 2005) often to cope and deal with the stressful environment of prison life. In addition to this up to 80% of prisoners have found to experience difficulties related to drugs and alcohol prior to coming into custody (ONS, 1999). A relationship between Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and substance use has been found in a number of research studies (Reynolds et al, 2005). Much research has been conducted investigating the link between dissociation, fantasy proneness, and PTSD. However, there is a dearth of research examining the relationship between trauma, dissociation, self harm and substance use in a prison population in England and Wales.
