This book provides a comprehensive overview of the methods used in
the Criminal Justice system in the United States to counsel and
treat offenders. It is aimed at advanced undergraduate and early
graduate-level students for courses in Correctional Treatment or

in the book provide: - Aims and Scope of Correctional Counseling
and Treatment -Tools that Corrections Workers Use (including
counseling and case management) - Behavioral Modification
Treatments: Examples and Applications - Cognitive Therapies:
Examples and Applications Throughout the text, there is an emphasis
on the big picture: the interaction of the correctional component
of the justice system with other components, particularly courts
(including special courts like family courts, drug courts, veterans
courts and other programs). Chapters in this book address the
diverse population of correctional facilities, including juvenile
offenders; those with mental illness, addiction and substance abuse
problems, physical and mental disabilities; and homeless
populations. The author also provides analysis of how legislation
influences the corrections process. This work is also enhanced by
providing comparative analysis of the criminal and juvenile justice
systems: their goals, objectives, and how these can affect
counseling and treatment available within these two systems. This
pedagogical features of this engaging text include: excerpted
interviews with correctional practitioners about the problems and
challenges they encounter, discussion questions, classification
instruments and real-world examples of specific treatments
programs, and case studies that give students the chance to select
the appropriate interviewing, counseling or treatment approach to
deal with the problem/ issues of the case. This work provides
students with an overview of the methods used for Correctional
Treatment and Counseling, and the tools to begin to think
critically about how and when to apply these methods.
