Cognitive Self Change – How Offenders Experience the World and What We Can Do About It

Autor J Bush
en Paperback – 13 mai 2016
This book draws on the latest literature to highlight a fundamental challenge in offender rehabilitation; it questions the ability of contemporary approaches to address this challenge, and proposes an alternative strategy of criminal justice that integrates control, opportunity, and autonomy.
Provides an up to date review of the links between cognition and criminal behavior, as well as treatment and rehabilitation
Engages directly with the antisocial underpinnings of criminal behavior, a major impediment to treatment and rehabilitation
Outlines a clear strategy for communicating with offenders which is firmly rooted in the What Works literature, is evidence–based, and provides a way of engaging even the most antisocial of offenders by presenting them with meaningful opportunities to change
Offers hands–on instructions based upon the real–life tactics and presentation of the high–risk offender

Descriere

Antisocial and anti–authority attitudes that lead to criminal behavior pose special challenges for treatment. Understanding how offenders think and how they experience the world is the first step to helping them change. De–incentivizing criminal behavior, and helping replace it with self–empowered change, are the keys to upending the traditionally antagonistic relationship between criminals and those meant to help them change. The authors, with their experience of both working with offenders and implementing rehabilitation programs, have drawn together clinical and academic perspectives on the treatment of prolific and persistent offenders, and offenders meeting the diagnostic criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder, analyzing current approaches to treatment and the problems encountered in their application.
They focus on high–risk and the most "hard–core" offenders, not just those that "are ready to change". They discuss why offenders offend, why they are seldom motivated to change, and why they often fail to engage in treatment, leading to a strategy of communication that teaches offenders a set of skills that they can use to change themselves, and that motivates them to do so.
Cognitive Self Change rejects the traditional dichotomy of control versus treatment, devising instead a strategy that integrates both.
