This book explores how different social psychology theories and
concepts can be applied to practice. Considering theories from
attribution theory to coercion theory, social identity theories to
ostracism, the authors offer a greater understanding and
appreciation of the ways in which social psychology can contribute
to forensic practice. The book argues that social psychology is
useful for carrying out assessments (including risk assessments),
formulations, and interventions with clients in forensic settings,
as well as for psychological consultation, training, and the
development of services. These theories are also important when
understanding multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working,
staff-client relationships, and peer-to-peer relationships. Through
illustrative composite case examples, taken from the authors'
experiences in forensic settings, the chapters demonstrate
effective ways to pursue a theoretically informed practice.
Exploring a broad range of theories and a timely topic, Social
Psychology in Forensic Practice will interest a wide readership
including graduate and undergraduate students and researchers in
criminology, sociology, and forensic, social and clinical
psychology. It will also be of practical use to health
professionals and non-health professionals working in forensic
settings as well as policy makers and others commissioning forensic
services.
This book examines how young men between the ages of 18 and 21 make
the transition to prison life and how they adapt practically,
socially and psychologically. Based on extensive research in
Feltham Young Offenders Institution, this book examines in
particular the role of social support, both inside and outside
prison, in relation to their adaptation, along with the constructs
of trust, locus of control, and safety. It concentrates both on the
successful adaptation to prison life and on the experience of
individuals who have difficulties in adapting; it pays special
attention to those who harm themselves whilst in prison. It is the
first study to provide an in-depth account of the psycho-social
experience of imprisonment for young adults. Understanding this
early stage of imprisonment is of major importance to policy makers
and practitioners in the light of the fact that up to a half of
completed suicides occur within the first month in prison.

This book examines a range of therapeutic approaches used in
prisons and other secure settings and explores the challenges in
such work. The approaches include Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy
(CBT), Cognitive-Analytic Therapy (CAT), Attachment-Based
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Systemic Psychotherapy. It provides
insights into debates about providing therapy in prisons and other
secure settings and discusses specific topics such as mental health
in-reach teams, working with women in prison, therapy within
therapeutic communities and therapy with black and minority ethnic
groups. This book addresses developments in mental healthcare by
the National Health Service (NHS) within prisons and on-going
policy developments which aim to improve access to psychological
therapies for prisoners. The contributors draw on experience both
in clinical psychology and forensic psychology, as well as
psychotherapy and criminology. They draw on experience too in a
range of environments, including juvenile and young offender
establishments, local prisons and dispersal prisons. Psychological
Therapy in Prisons and Other Secure Settings will be essential
reading for people who work to improve the psychological wellbeing
of individuals in prisons and other secure settings.
