Reviews
This exceptionally well-structured guide builds on CBT to provide step-by-step information for treatment of justice-involved clients. The discussions of cognitive restructuring, motivational interviewing, risk reduction, and managing anger episodes are especially helpful. The book is jam-packed with practical examples of what to say and do, in the form of sample scripts and therapeutic responses. It is nicely suited for courses in correctional, mental health, and rehabilitation counseling, as well as for psychology and social work programs that address behavior change in the criminal justice system. --Stanley L. Brodsky, PhD, Professor Emeritus and Scholar in Residence, Department of Psychology, University of Alabama This book provides an excellent introduction, planner, guide, and resource for mental health and criminal justice professionals who want to help offenders change their behavior. The authors approach is grounded in CBT, which is empirically proven to be the most effective intervention with this population, whether in justice-controlled settings or in the community. I highly recommend it. --Bruce D. Sales, PhD, JD, ScD (h.c.), Virginia L. Roberts Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Indiana University Bloomington Justice-involved clients present some of the least-addressed diversity challenges in all of mental health. With impeccable clinical credentials and top research pedigrees, Tafrate et al. present a masterful integration of evidence-based practices in this book--one of those rare works that spans theoretical foundations and actionable techniques. This book would serve as an excellent text for intervention courses with a focus on community mental health and diversity. If we could get every mental health practitioner who works with justice-involved clients to read about and implement this approach, we could alter our current criminalization of mental illness. --Christopher M. Weaver, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Forensic Psychology Program, Palo Alto University
