What Reviewers Are Saying
You could roll several books into one and still not get the comprehensive, up-to-date review assembled here. Whether you're an emerging student or a correctional counselor in the field, here's a thorough "what's under the hood" type of book.
--Michael D. Clark, MSW, Director, Center for Strength-Based Strategies; Consultant to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
Counseling offenders is a singular challenge. But even more daunting is the challenge of presenting a scholarly "tour d'horizon" of the myriad of approaches, styles, underlying theories, contexts, controversies and developments in the field of working with offenders therapeutically. This book does it with panache, making the essential 'humanness' of the endeavor come alive with vignettes, case studies and examples that both engage and clarify. A readable, informative and up-to-date treatment that every 'student' of corrections should consume, be they in university just beginning to learn, or in the trenches, struggling to get better at what they do.
--Frank J. Porporino, Ph.D., T3 Associates Consulting, Ottawa, Canada; member of the board, International Association for Correctional and Forensic Psychology
Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation should be a mandatory text for any correctional treatment class. The authors' experience working with correctional organizations throughout the country shines throughout the text as they are able to provide real-world examples to sometimes complex theories of behavior. This text should be a staple for any student seeking to change behavior in offenders.
--Jennifer Pealer, Ph.D., East Tennessee State University
The book provides an excellent analysis of the issues facing correctional counselors and their clients. Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation is unique in its coverage of psychodynamic theory and the early approaches to group and milieu therapy. At the same time, the book offers important insight into the current best practices in the field. I highly recommend this text for graduate and undergraduate courses.
