Résumé :
Typically, personality disordered offenders have long histories of 
unsuccessful and iatrogenic interventions. Understanding what has gone 
wrong and the nature of the harm caused by these interventions is 
critical to developing effective interventions for this population and 
to the task of theory building. In this paper a range of iatrogenic 
intervention processes are identified from the literature and a model 
accounting for adverse outcomes in terms of derailment of dissonance 
resolution reinforced by avoiding negative affect associated with 
dissonance is outlined. Strategies for practitioners and researchers to 
use information about adverse outcomes are suggested.
