註釋This publication offers corrections personnel an introduction to what CBT is and how it is being implemented in prisons and jails across the United States. It explores the history and philosophies underlying CBT and gets right to the "nuts and bolts" of several promising CBT treatment programs. Chapter 1 discusses the increasing need for psychiatric and behavioral treatment in the nation's prisons and jails. Chapter 2 explores the history of cognitive-behavioral therapy and explains its principles. Chapters 3 to 5 review the literature on cognitive-behavioral treatments for individuals who have come in contact with the criminal justice system. Six programs in general use are reviewed : Aggression Replacement Training, Moral Recognition Therapy, Thinking for a Change, Relapse Prevention Therapy, Reasoning and Rehabilitation, and Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment : Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change (a program developed by the authors of this publication). Chapter 6 covers "real world" issues that need to be addressed when providing CBT for offenders, such as diversity considerations and how to treat clients with serious mental disorders. The chapter concludes with a discussion of two strategies : targeting the appropriate treatment for the particular offender, and the "manualized" approach (giving practitioners a precise curriculum to follow). These strategies have been shown to greatly improve offender outcomes.
