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.
Updated for the first time since 1993-and still the only
comprehensive clinical guide to supportive psychotherapy-this new
edition of Clinical Manual of Supportive Psychotherapy features
updated and new chapters, vignettes, tables, and resources that
reflect current best practices. Where once it was reserved for use
with severely impaired patients, supportive therapy has come to be
recognized as the treatment of choice for many patients, and
supportive techniques underpin a great many other psychotherapies.
As a result, the academic literature, both on specific populations
and on technical issues, has mushroomed. In this manual, the
authors-all of them practicing mental health clinicians-distill the
most relevant information that nonpsychiatric physicians,
psychiatric residents, and experienced psychiatrists and
psychotherapists need to fully understand this specific modality.
The volume introduces, in Part I, readers to the history and
evolution of the use of supportive therapy, examining both its
principles and its techniques. It then applies, in Part II, the
approach to a range of disorders, including schizophrenia and
hallucinations, mood disorders, personality disorders, and-new to
this edition-anxiety and co-occurring disorders. Part III covers
interactions and special settings, discussing applying supportive
techniques with medically ill patients and older patients,
including tackling issues such as social and financial barriers to
seeking treatment in the case of the latter. Also included in this
part are new chapters on interactions and special settings,
including practicing in detention and correctional centers and the
special needs of therapists in public institutions, and updated
chapters on community and family involvement and medication
adherence and therapy interactions. A discussion of
ethics-augmented with guidance on cultural and religious
sensitivity-completes this most comprehensive of guides.
