We will provide data showing how clozapine reduced repetitive self-injury and time in restrictive housing. We also discuss how to overcome obstacles including the requirement of increased medical monitoring, i.e., ongoing weekly blood tests. Learning Objectives: • Participants will learn about the potential benefits of clozapine for some offenders with severe, recurrent self injury that has not responded adequately to prior medication treatments or psychological therapies. • Participants will learn how clozapine is different from other psychotropic medications in terms of what is required for safe and effective monitoring. • Participants will learn about barriers to clozapine use and learn practical suggestions to overcome these barriers.
