Everyone once in a while, you come across a book that matters. And it matters so much that it continues to be updated with the latest information possible. This is what you have in your hands with Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation by Salisbury and Van Voorhis. Helping people get the tools and skills they need to successfully re-enter society is about investing in them as people, the communities they return to, and our community more generally. This book does that and does it masterfully. With COVID-19 ravaging the correctional system, this book is all the more important for students, policymakers, and practitioners. Alex R. Piquero, Ph.D. University of Miami, Department of Sociology & Criminology, Arts & Sciences Distinguished Scholar. This book, Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation, is a masterpiece. It consists of theoretical frameworks, treatment modalities, and most recent cutting-edge evidence-based practices for treating justice-involved people in institutional settings and in the community. Salisbury and Van Voorhis go the extra mile and provide a critical analysis and the importance of race and culture. They highlight the significance of providing multicultural counseling for racially and ethnically diverse correctional populations, as opposed to an ethno-centrism perspective. This text is so well designed and orchestrated, that any ordinary person can read it and truly understand the meaning of corrections and treatments for individuals in justice systems. Leroy Curtis Johnson, MSW, Assistant Professor (clinical), University of Utah, College of Social Work
