| Abstract | "When we first began examining the area of adult firesetting in the 2000s, writing a book on the topic would have been almost impossible. There was very little psychological theory or research and large gaps in our understanding of this topic. We are delighted to say that, since 2010-in particular the Gannon and Pina (2010) review on the topic-this picture has changed somewhat. In fact, it has changed so much that we have now been able to write a book on the topic. Our initial idea for this book stemmed from our training provision in the area of adult firesetting. We have been providing training on this topic since around 2011 and quickly realised that in order to give delegates a comprehensive overview of the topic we had to piece together and disseminate varying sources (i.e., book chapters and journal articles). As the years have gone by, the absence of an authored book in this area has become more apparent. We sincerely hope that this book will fix this gap and promote momentum for theorists, researchers, and treatment providers who are working with adult-perpetrated firesetting. If readers take one message from this book we hope it will be that future work in firesetting must be grounded in best practice scientific principles. This is an incredibly important field of research-a public health issue (Tyler, Gannon, Ó Ciardha, Ogloff, & Stadolnik, 2019)-so it is vital that future research is well-planned and adequately powered to provide the field with the well-founded evidence and theoretical direction it requires"-- Provided by publisher. |
