Offence Paralleling Behaviour cover

New to the Wiley Series in Forensic Clinical Psychology, Offence Paralleling Behaviour presents an original framework of individualised assessment and treatment methods for clinicians working in the forensic environment.

  • Provides a framework that helps practitioners to identify and work with offence-relevant behaviour and evidence pro-social change
  • Describes how Offence Paralleling Behaviour (OPB) can be successfully identified and used in risk assessment and treatment planning
  • Brings together leading academics and frontline clinicians, including psychiatric nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, drug and alcohol specialists, and correctional officers, as well as featuring the views of prisoners on OPB
  • Presents methods which allow staff to identify and use OPB in clinical practice

“The OPB framework is a major contribution to applied research and clinical practice so, in my opinion, this book should be viewed as essential reading for anyone working with offender populations.”  (Criminal Behaviour & Mental Health, 10 April 2014)
