What is SCM?
Developed by Anthony Bateman, Peter Fonagy, Rory
Bolton and Eric Karas at the Halliwick Unit, London.
 Evidenced based.

Structured Clinical Management
Involves helping the person to:

o Manage a crisis
o Develop skills to manage emotions/impulses/interpersonal
interaction

NOTE: primary aim of SCM is to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions
Specialist/Generalist treatments: the evidence
base

Mentalization based treatment (MBT) ‘v’ structured clinical
management (SCM (Bateman & Fonagy, 2009b)

Other generalist treatments, comparable to SCM also
shown to be effective (McMain, Guimond, Cardish,

What are service users saying about SCM?

“ I think that the Agreement is really good idea because it is
between both of us and helps me to have some structure and
responsibility in my life”

“Learning more about my diagnosis, symptoms and what
medication is prescribed and why, helps to give me more
insight into my diagnosis and how the diagnosis and
symptoms effect my daily life and the risks that come was
some of the symptoms”
What are service users saying about SCM?

“The crisis plans helps me to come to an agreement that
between us is for my own benefit and to assist me when in
Crisis but I feel it needs to have more in it to prevent any
more admissions because this is a big anxious issue for
me”

The Goals are good because it gives me things to aim for
both in the short and long term”
What SCM practitioners are saying
Hope...but realistic
 Really like the structure
 Need flexibility so can tailor it to the individual
 Hadn’t realised how little they understood of their care plan
 Good to start SCM with someone you already know
 Seeing the benefits for service users
 But am I really doing SCM?

Crisis Plan - example
Information for me:
Information for healthcare professionals:
Positive things I can do when I am in a crisis:
My difficulties as I see them now:
Things which have not been helpful when I
have been faced with crises in the past:
Staying up all night; admitted to hospital;
increasing the dosage of my medication as this
prolongs my stay in hospital; health
professionals concentrating on my past history
instead of current problems
I am addicted to cannabis, I often go out of my
way to get it (which puts me in danger); I have
several worries about family and thinking about
them can make me feel very depressed;
attempting to deal with the problems in my life
can lead to thoughts of suicide
Details of any current treatment / support from
health professionals:
Physical illnesses & medication:
Specific refusals regarding treatment during a
crisis:
Situations which can lead to a crisis:
I do not want to be hospitalised unless it is
absolutely necessary; please don’t make
decisions about my treatment without including
me in the discussion first
Things I would like professionals to do
which may help me when I am in a crisis:
Things which professionals have said or done
which have not been helpful in the past:
