1 36 CHAPTER 1 sample. Chapter 5 reports a series of case-studies, conducted to investigate both the added value to forensic case formulation and the process of collecting personalized information regarding interrelated risk-relevant features. For this purpose, we combined traditional forensic case formulation with experience sampling method (ESM) monitoring. That is, participant and therapist collaboratively explored possible risk-relevant features, formed hypotheses about these features’ interrelationships, monitored them through an intensive longitudinal research methodology based on a structured self-report diary technique (ESM), discussed the resulting reports, and integrated findings in further case formulation. In this study, this approach is referred to as a blended ESM procedure. The following research questions were formulated to assess the added value of personalized information to forensic case formulation as well as the process of collecting this information: 1. What do participants consider the possible value for forensic case formulation of ESM measurement of risk-relevant features? 2. How do participants experience the graphs reflecting patterns in the dynamic course of risk-relevant features, in terms of ease of understanding and interpretation, in the feedback reports (bar graphs, time series plots, and network graphs)? 3. To what degree do participants experience effects of ESM assessments on their emotions, sexual feelings, and sexual behavior? 4. How burdensome do participants perceive ESM assessment regarding the content of items, daily measurement frequency, duration completing a personalized ESM questionnaire, and duration of the entire registering period (two weeks)? 5. What is the level of participant adherence to, or compliance with, and engagement with the ESM assessments? The final chapter reviews the key findings of the empirical studies included in this dissertation as well as the newly developed NBM-RSR and outlines their scientific and clinical relevance and limitations. This chapter concludes with recommendations for future research.
