A critical perspective on the treatment of incarcerated women-and
their children Inside and Out: Women, Prison, and Therapy
challenges conventional thinking about the therapeutic issues
facing female prisoners and their children. Therapists, counselors,
scholars, and activists examine the injustices of the criminal
justice system and the roles feminist therapists can play in
deconstructing and demystifying the lives of women prisoners by
becoming more involved in clinical work. Inside and Out: Women,
Prison, and Therapy examines this growing problem from a feminist
perspective, debunking stereotypes about women perpetrators with a
thorough examination of gender-responsive treatment of women in a
variety of settings. This unique book includes a macro analysis of
gender and criminality; an assessment of violence and the abuse of
women; parenting and the impact of incarceration on children;
treatment approaches developed specifically for women prisoners;
and an outline of what women need when leaving prison life. The
book also examines crucial issues facing women prisoners, including
sexual abuse and assault, substance abuse, mental and physical
health concerns, human rights, violence, discrimination, and the
unique problems of women prisoners of color. Topics addressed in
Inside and Out: Women, Prison, and Therapy include: designing and
delivering gender-responsive programs for women developing
therapeutic measures to correct and normalize marginalized women
mistreatment of women prisoners in the United States domestic
violence and its connection to criminalization counseling sexually
abused women motherhood, crime, and prison the effects of
incarceration on children and families women, addiction, and
incarceration using drama therapy with incarcerated women feminist
support groups transitioning after release from prison and much
more Inside and Out: Women, Prison, and Therapy is a vital
professional resource for therapists and counselors who work with
female prisoners and their families.
