This study aimed to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the URI group effectiveness for sex offenders. Design/Methods/Approach: A longitudinal study with three groups of participants – sex offenders (n = 9) and non-sex offenders (n = 9) that completed the URI group, and the control group (n = 10), which were assessed at two time points was conducted at a high-security psychiatric hospital. Each group filled out three questionnaires at both timepoints – IIP-C, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and ECR-R. Findings: The results suggest a decrease in feelings of loneliness for both groups of patients that completed the URI programme, and a limited reduction of interpersonal difficulties. Results of within-subject changes regarding interpersonal difficulties among patients in URI group did not statistically significantly differ from the result of the control group. Research Limitations/Implications: The most evident limitation of the study is a very small sample size and lack of objective measurement of patients’ difficulties in interpersonal relations. Practical Implications: The findings suggest that the URI programme might have a limited effect on sex offenders due to the unsuccessful implementation of the Risk, Need, Responsivity Model, although several study limitations were present potentially affecting the outcome. Originality/Value: Longitudinal evaluation effectiveness of a clinical intervention for patients with sex offending history at a high-secure psychiatric hospitalNamen prispevka: V visoko varovani psihiatrični bolnišnici v Veliki Britaniji (VB) so razvili skupinsko psihoedukativno terapijo Razumevanje intimnosti in odnosov (angl. Understanding Intimacy and Relationships (URI)) z namenom znižanja izraženosti težav v medosebnih odnosih, izraženih pri pacientih z zgodovino spolnega prestopništva. Namen raziskave je bilo izvesti preliminarno oceno učinkovitosti URI za spolne prestopnike. Metode: V visoko varovani psihiatrični bolnišnici v VB je bila izvedena longitudinalna študija, ki je vključevala tri skupine – udeleženci, ki so zaključili URI z zgodovino spolnega prestopništva (n = 9) in brez (n = 9) ter kontrolno skupino pacientov (n = 10), ki so bili ocenjeni na dveh časovnih točkah. Vsaka skupina udeležencev je izpolnila tri vprašalnike – IIP-C, lestvica osamljenosti UCLA in ECR-R. Ugotovitve: Rezultati nakazujejo na zmanjšanje občutka osamljenosti pri obeh skupinah, ki sta zaključili program URI ter omejeno zmanjšanje medosebnih težav. Rezultati niso pokazali statistično pomembnih sprememb na področju medosebnih težav pri posameznikih od prve točke testiranja do druge točke testiranja v kateri koli od treh skupin udeležencev. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave: Ključna omejitev je majhen vzorec in pomanjkanje objektivnega merskega instrumenta pacientovih težav na področju medosebnih odnosov. Praktična uporabnost: Na podlagi rezultatov se tako nakazuje omejena stopnja učinkovitosti programa URI za spolne prestopnike zaradi neuspešne implementacije modela Tveganje, potrebe, odzivnost, vendar so predstavljene tudi omejitve študije, ki so lahko vplivale na rezultate.
