A practical treatment manual, specifically developed for use with offenders who have intellectual disabilities, which will help clinicians to prepare and run therapeutic group sessions as part of an offender rehabilitation programme.
- Traditional methods and techniques have been modified so that they can be used with offenders with developmental disabilities
- Looks at topics such as disclosure, dealing with cognitive distortions, the cycle of offending, victim awareness, pathways to offending and non-offending and relapse prevention
- As well as CBT, new initiatives in offender rehabilitation, such as self-regulation and the Good Lives Model (GLM), are covered
"Each chapter is made up of a series of exercises in which specific group activities are described in detail, frequently including examples of dialog that might occur during the exercise to illustrate the focus of the session." (PsycCRITIQUES, March 2010)
