Although there has been a fairly substantial focus in previous research upon understanding the characteristic of firesetters and incidents of firesetting; there is a dearth of published studies that focus upon treatment strategies for use with mentally disordered firesetters. The current research rectifies this shortfall by describing the development and content of a firesetting treatment package, designed for use with individuals who have a mental disorder. Wherever possible, the reported features of the package are ground in the previous published research. Issues concerning evaluation of this type of therapeutic work are also discussed.
