Where so many existing books on psychiatry in a prison setting
focus on either standards or issues of medication, Psychotherapy in
Corrections is unique in its focus on the actual practice of
psychotherapy in correctional facilities. With a particular
emphasis on supportive psychotherapy with adult patients, this
guide draws on the authors' extensive experience in the field and
features case vignettes that serve to bring some of the most
important points to life. Organized into four parts, it covers: *
The relationship between psychotherapy and corrections; supportive
therapy techniques; and issues that affect new or returning
prisoners* How to address core issues in helping prisoners,
including self-harm and suicidality, trauma and stressor-related
disorders, and substance use disorders* Key disorders encountered
in correctional settings, including serious mental illness; mood
disorders, including bipolar disorder and depression; and
personality disorders, including psychopathy* Special
considerations, including the experience of women in prison;
behaviors and problems that can disrupt care; cultural issues; and
preparing prisoners for release Diagnostically oriented chapters,
each of which features key points and provides quick access when
referencing specific conditions and scenarios. Psychotherapy in
Corrections also incorporates the latest developments in society
wrought by the pandemic and ongoing conversations about social
justice, acknowledging the effects that COVID-19 has had on
conditions within prisons and the issues that affect therapists
practicing in a correctional setting, such as the treatment of the
poor, minorities, and traditionally disadvantaged persons. All
those practicing in correctional settings-whether psychiatrists,
psychologists, mid-level mental health practitioners, social
workers, professional counselors, and others-will benefit from the
practical and detailed approach in this comprehensive volume that
will equip them to focus on and treat the human before them,
irrespective of their crime or the setting.
