Description

This book investigates the general correctional offender population and the psychotherapy services they receive. The offender population has long been considered the most difficult to engage in psychotherapy,�often described as resistant, non-compliant, unworkable, and without feeling. This unique and culturally diverse�population tend to find themselves, as a result, going through a cycle of arrest, conviction, incarceration, and release. Although other offender populations, such as female offenders, severe mentally ill, and sex�offenders, have received considerable attention in scholarship, there has been little research focused on the treatment of the general offender population�and how to reduce recidivism through the appropriate delivery of effective�assessment and treatment services.�This book will bridge that gap in literature, addressing: ?������ Who the offender population is ?������ Social and systematic factors they face ?������ Psychological understandings of criminal behavior ?������ Rehabilitation and psychotherapy theories and approaches to treatment , as well as best practices ?������ Future efforts in justice initiatives, advocacy, and public policy This book is best suited for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and researchers, and practitioners in criminal justice fields and mental health professions working with offender populations.�Typham this is the title: Understanding Offending Populations and the Power of Correctional Psychotherapy Unlocking Insights
