People behave in ways that make sense to them and are consistent
with their own understanding and views of the world. Offenders are
no different, and personal construct theory and techniques offer
the clinician and therapist a powerful framework for understanding
an individual s view of the world, which has practical implications
for assessment and treatment. Julia Houston has many years
experience of using Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) in offender
rehabilitation. Her book is aimed at clinical and forensic
psychologists, psychiatrists and nurses, and probation officers and
social workers, who work with offenders in secure or community
settings. For those unfamiliar with PCP this book provides a
concise introduction to the concepts, and methods (principally the
use of repertory grids), which would be useful in many clinical and
therapeutic settings. But the unique feature of the book is the
focus on offender assessment and treatment, showing how PCP relates
to offending behaviour and offenders, and demonstrating how PCP is
used with a variety of offender types. There are specialised
chapters on young offenders, violent offenders, sexual offenders,
personality disordered offenders, mentally ill offenders and those
with problems of alcohol or drug abuse.
