Taylor & Francis Ltd The Nature of Health: How America Lost, and Can
Book SynopsisThis pioneering work addresses a key issue that confronts all industrialised nations: How do we organise healthcare services in accordance with fundamental human rights, whilst competing with scientific and technological advances, powerful commercial interests and widespread public ignorance? "The Nature of Health" presents a coherent, affordable and logical way to build a healthcare system. It argues against a health system fixated on the pursuit of longevity and suggests an alternative where the ability of an individual to function in worthwhile relationships is a better, more human goal. By reviewing the etymology, sociology and anthropology of health, this controversial guide examines the meaning of health, and proves how a community-centred healthcare system improves local economy, creates social capital and is affordable, rational, personal, and just. "This is badly needed nourishment for a medical system glutted on technology, individualism, profit and the pursuit of longevity. Read and be fed." - Christopher Koller, Health Insurance Commissioner, The State of Rhode Island, USA. "Unique. Surprising. A real eye-opener. Just about everyone who doesn't have a vested financial interest in maintaining the status quo will agree that U.S. healthcare is badly broken. [This book] is making it possible for us to refocus from how to provide healthcare to how to achieve health. Their description of health as successful functioning in community, rather than as a measure of longevity is a definition that can make a reader feel healthier as they take gradually appreciate the power of the concept. On this foundation, it is not as hard as one might think to outline a healthcare system that is equitable, affordable and achievable." - Alexander Blount EdD, Professor of Family Medicine, University of Massacusetts Medical Center.Trade Review'Compelling [...] raises important questions about the goals of health- care spending.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Assessing Needs and Planning Care in Social Work
Book SynopsisThe assessment of needs and the process of planning care are central issues in modern social work practice. Skilled assessment of client needs and strengths is essential to effective planning and efficient provision of quality social work services including both counselling and personal care. The focus of this book is on the development of the skills required at each stage of the social work process: assessment, care planning, implementation and evaluation. Throughout the book a balance is maintained between the focus on client involvement and the role of the social worker in an agency. The latter part of the book addresses practical issues in developing new approaches to assessment and care planning: primary workers, individual support and managing change. Social work practitioners, managers and trainers and students on qualifying and pre-qualifying training will find this an invaluable aid to the development of sound and yet creative practice.Trade Review'...written clearly, is free of jargon and contains a wealth of information and thoughtful discussion. The theoretical content is skilfully related to examples of practice and I felt I was being gently lead through concepts which were sometimes complex and profound.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Personal Safety for Social Workers
Book SynopsisThis book is aimed at employers, managers and staff in social work agencies. Historically there has been a slowness to acknowledge the risks which social workers routinely face and some employers have adopted a re-active approach, waiting for incidents to occur before taking action. They are thus placed in the position of having to make policy 'on the hoof' and at a time of crisis. Support to staff who have been attacked has been patchy, and in some instances sadly lacking. The absence of agreed procedures for dealing with violent attacks can leave the staff concerned, feeling unsupported, anxious and stressed. Social work staff, in their turn, may have experienced feelings of guilt when they have been unable to prevent aggression or assault; at best they may lack confidence in the level of understanding and support their line managers will show, and at worst they may feel that they will be blamed for the incident. As a result there is a tendency towards under reporting violent acts. For these reasons a joint approach to the problem is urged which involves social workers, support staff and managers. Personal Safety for Social Workers examines the special issues which social workers, and their employers, need to address. Part 1 reviews some of the information now available about violence in social work settings and within the context of violence in society at large. The respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees are discussed, and guidance offered on developing a workplace personal safety policy and on the steps which will need to be taken for effective implementation. Advice is given on developing procedures for reporting violent incidents and for providing after-care to staff who have been on the receiving end of violence. This section of the book also looks at the ways in which the design and management of the workplace can enhance personal safety and provides guidelines to social workers on the issues to consider when working away from the normal work base. Part 2 contains detailed personal safety guidelines for use by individual social workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 addresses training issues and provides a number of sample training programmes. A Reference Section gives information about further reading, training materials and sources of further help, advice and information. The message of this book is that proper attention to risk can reduce both the incidence of aggression and its development into violent acts. Preventive action can have the dual effect of protecting staff, and also of providing quality services in a more sensitive way to social work clients.Trade Review’There is a profusion of good advice, with checklists frequently used. Readers will gain a good overall grasp of the issues involved in this increasingly important field, and an expanded set of ideas on how to keep themselves safe.’ Professional Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: Background: Violence at work; The risks in perspective; Violence against social workers; Defining violence and aggression; Employer and employee roles; Safety in the social work setting; Developing a policy; Implementing a policy; Reporting violent incidents; The workplace; Residential and day care settings; Away from the workplace; After-care.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cognitive-behavioural Social Work in Practice
Book SynopsisCognitive-Behavioural Social Work in Practice appears at an interesting time for social work and social services. More than ever, practitioners are required to provide evidence for the effectiveness of what they do, while the rights of service users to ethically competent practice in which they are partners is high on the agenda. Drawing on a wide area of research, as well as the practice experience of its 18 contributors, it covers a broad range of cognitive-behavioural intervention with different client groups in a variety of settings, including child care, family work, probation and offending behaviour, mental health, disability and issues concerning older people. The first chapter sets out lucidly the theoretical and research basis for cognitive-behavioural practice and is rich in case examples. Each subsequent chapter adopts a case study approach to its subject, either by providing a single case study or by the detailed exploration of an area of practice combined with case examples. The volume is unique in not only bringing together practitioners and academics but in presenting the work of the 'academic, reflective practitioner'. It is thus an accessible, informative guide for professionals, students and educators who, with all their working pressures and constraints, strive to provide help based on best evidence.Trade Review’I would recommend this book to practitioners wishing to breathe some fresh air into practice possibilities and to trainee social workers who wish to learn an approach which will build upon other behaviourally-based approaches in their intervention toolbag.’ British Journal of Social Work ’An accessible practice-based book on behavioural social work...’ European Journal of Social Work ’...informative and timely...a rich mixture of theory, research and practice...The text is a thoroughly good buy and should form part of every social work training course.’ Cognitive Behavioural Social Work ReviewTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Research and theory; Direct clinical work with children; Intervention to protect the child; Treating children who fail to thrive; Children with severe learning disabilities; Behavioural work in residential childcare; Working with young offenders; Adult probationers and the STOP programme; Working with carers using the birthday exercise; Learning theory, addiction and counselling; Behavioural work, crisis intervention and the mental health call-out; Intervention in group care for older people; The prevention and management of elder abuse; Epilogue: education for effective practice.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Children: Noble Causes or Worthy Citizens?
Book SynopsisSince the International Year of the Child in 1979, advocacy for children has intensified. The Convention on the Rights of the Child has propelled this advocacy decisively into the midst of the political debate over human rights. Attempts to construct and support the theoretical and empirical underpinnings for a fresh approach to children and childhood are also intensifying. Nonetheless, policies targeted at children continue to suffer from pervasive theoretical weaknesses. This is persistently constraining appropriate action. This book argues that for both theoretical and practical reasons children need to be understood in their own right. It asks fundamental questions about the perceptions we have of children and childhood and about the ways these perceptions emerge to influence and shape our assumptions, preferences and choices concerning children. It tries to deepen understanding and interest by clarifying the theoretical, ethical and pragmatic reasons for transforming the political neglect of children into recognition and action. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines cultural and social variations in perceptions concerning children and the second part draws conclusions from the analysis. It concludes by proposing practical lessons which may be learned from the debate about children.Trade Review’This is a compelling book which unravels and conceptualises the many contradictions in the children’s rights debate...It is a salvo in the ideological battle which will greatly appeal to the converted and provides us with, in Knutssen’s words, tools for a better understanding.’ Social Work Review ’This book is an articulate, engaging and purposeful blend of hard facts and even harder polemic.’ International Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: The Nature and the Location of the Debate: The many environments of the child; Different times, different children; Commonalities and variations in perceptions about children; The nature and the location of the debate; The debate in practice: the case of UNICEF; Learning From the Debate: the Need for Change: Tools for a better understanding; The need to rethink development; Recognizing the citizen child; Bibliography.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Peer Mentoring in Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisPeer mentoring is an increasingly popular criminal justice intervention in custodial and community settings. Peer mentors are community members, often with lived experiences of criminal justice, who work or volunteer to help people in rehabilitative settings. Despite the growth of peer mentoring internationally, remarkably little research has been done in this field. This book offers the first in-depth analysis of peer mentoring in criminal justice. Drawing upon a rigorous ethnographic study of multiple community organisations in England, it identifies key features of criminal justice peer mentoring. Findings result from interviews with people delivering and using services and observations of practice. Peer Mentoring in Criminal Justice reveals a diverse practice, which can involve one-to-one sessions, group work or more informal leisure activities. Despite diversity, five dominant themes are uncovered. These include Identity, which is deployed to inspire change and elTrade ReviewThe criminal justice system has become a dustbin for failed public policy. This book’s in-depth and timely consideration of peer mentoring both extends understanding of a crucial participatory approach to this setting and helps offer practical routes out. A must-read text for both professionals and those on the receiving end of criminal justice.Peter Beresford, Professor of Citizen Participation, University of Essex and Co-Chair, Shaping Our Lives, the national service user-led organization."Peer mentoring in criminal justice has a long history, but a remarkably thin theoretical and research base, considering the rich potential of this work to transform our ideas about criminality and the justice process. Buck’s comprehensive treatment of the subject is exactly what is needed, therefore -- a genuine breakthrough that will become a sort of ‘bible’ for future research in this area."Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, Queen’s University Belfast"Gill Buck’s important new book takes our understanding of mentoring to an entirely new level, exploring not just its relationship with desistance from crime but also its complex, contested and emergent role in criminal justice and its reform. In revealing how mentoring interacts with questions of identity, agency, values, change and power, this book will intrigue, inspire and challenge students, practitioners and scholars of criminal and social justice alike."Fergus NcNeill, Professor of Criminology & Social Work, University of GlasgowThis book takes us beyond aspirational and fashionable approaches to desistance by making a compelling case - both critically and in practice - for participatory self-determination on the part of those with experience of criminal punishment. In Peer Mentoring in Criminal Justice, Gillian Buck retrieves traditions of radical pedagogy and self-help movements to present a contemporary way forward for sustainable recovery from criminalisation.Mary Corcoran, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Director of programmes in Criminology, Keele UniversityTable of Contents1.Introduction: Peer Mentoring in Criminal Justice 2.The penal voluntary sector, peer mentoring, and desistance from crime 3.Theorising peer mentoring as a critical relational practice: pedagogy, identity and collective politicisation 4.The research field 5.The importance of identity to peer mentoring 6.Agency, action and acknowledgement in peer mentoring 7.The Values and ‘Core Conditions’ of Peer Mentoring 8.The terror, complexity and limits of change 9.

Guilford Publications Treating Sex Offenders
Book SynopsisThis structured yet flexible manual presents an innovative group treatment approach that targets deficits in self-regulationâa central problem for sex offenders. Safe Offender Strategies (SOS) comprises 10 evidence-based modules that teach participants the skills to desist from problem behaviors, manage their emotions and impulses, and break unhealthy relationship patterns. Motivational enhancement and validation techniques are woven throughout this collaborative treatment. SOS can be used with a range of clientsâincluding high-risk offenders and those with mental illness or intellectual disabilitiesâin institutional or outpatient settings. Fifteen reproducible forms and worksheets can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.Trade Review"Stinson and Becker have opened a new and optimistic chapter in the so-far frustrating search for solutions to sexual violence. Offering respectful criticisms of prior therapeutic approaches, they provide an alternative that is standardized, can be systematically evaluated, and is supported by preliminary empirical studies. Ultimately, desistance from sexual crime depends on each offender's willingness to change; fortunately, the approach in this book is adherent to well-known principles of prosocial behavior change. Beautifully written, this comprehensive, practical treatment guide promises to be used and tested for years to come."--Joel A. Dvoskin, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry, University of Arizona College of Medicine "An enormously important contribution. In the last three decades, the approach to sexual offending has been almost unrelentingly punitive. Stinson and Becker outline a rigorous, empirically grounded approach to treatment, in a style that is accessible and clear. This book needs to be on the shelf of anyone assessing or treating someone who has committed a sexual offense. It will stand as a landmark in the evolution of sex offender treatment."--John Petrila, JD, LLM, Vice President of Adult Policy, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, Dallas, Texas "This manual addresses a vital criminal justice and public health issue. Without losing sight of public safety concerns, the authors identify methods for establishing a caring, empathic therapeutic alliance. The importance of basing therapeutic interventions on well-documented empirical evidence is properly emphasized. This is a thought-provoking work that educates rather than indoctrinates. It will be a useful resource for both clinicians and students."--Fred S. Berlin, MD, PhD, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Director, National Institute for the Study, Prevention, and Treatment of Sexual Trauma "This authoritative account of the SOS program by leading experts represents an important addition to the literature on treatment for sexual offending. SOS is founded on an incisive model of self-regulatory processes in affective, cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains. This innovative, step-by-step manual warrants the attention of researchers and practitioners who are committed to reducing the serious and lasting harm inflicted on society by sexual offenders."--Christopher J. Patrick, PhD, Department of Psychology, Florida State University-The modules present well-organized psychoeducational curriculums….Stinson and Becker have presented an interesting and detailed treatment model that incorporates aspects of evidence-based approaches including motivational interviewing and dialectical behavioral therapy.--PsycCRITIQUES, 06/26/2013Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisHighly practical and accessible, this book shows how to synthesize complex information about child and adolescent mental health problems into clinically useful, dynamic case formulations. Strategies and tools are provided for analyzing the biological, psychological, social, cultural, spiritual, and developmental factors that may be contributing to the difficulties of clients ages 4-18. Numerous case examples illustrate the steps in crafting a comprehensive formulation and using it to plan effective, individualized treatment. Strategies for overcoming frequently encountered pitfalls in case formulation are highlighted throughout.Trade Review"Finally! This book will revive the vanishing skill of gathering multi-source clinical information and integrating it into a comprehensive formulation to guide culturally and developmentally sensitive biopsychosocial treatment. Manassis brings extensive clinical experience to her dedication to evidence-based mental health practice. This book should be required reading for all clinicians who aspire to provide optimal treatment for children and their families."--Mina K. Dulcan, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine; Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago "Child clinicians often struggle to form cogent case conceptualizations. Now their struggle is over! This expertly crafted, comprehensive guide is replete with charts, diagrams, and case examples to help both experienced and beginning clinicians paint rich conceptual portraits. Most important, Manassis's work is developmentally sensitive, culturally attuned, links treatment to formulation, and teaches clinicians to collaboratively share their conceptualization with young patients and their families. I will keep this book close to my desk for ready reference."--Robert D. Friedberg, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director, Center for the Study and Treatment of Anxious Youth, Palo Alto University "Manassis has an exceptional talent for illuminating key concepts through insightful yet concise clinical examples. Her knowledge, skills, and compassion as a master clinician are evident. This book helps clinicians tackle complex, challenging situations that require digging deeper into the child and family's history and experiences to help them reach their treatment goals. I highly recommend this book for seasoned clinicians as well as multidisciplinary trainees in child mental health. An amazing teaching tool, the book is filled with clinical pearls that will keep students engaged in learning. I plan to use it in my teaching and supervision with child psychiatry fellows and my multidisciplinary team."--Sucheta Connolly, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Director, Pediatric Stress and Anxiety Disorders Clinic, University of Illinois at Chicago "Manassis, an extremely effective and knowledgeable psychiatrist, gives front-line professionals very practical guidelines for developing comprehensive formulations--even for the most complex cases--and revising them as needed. Examples throughout the book demonstrate the utility of Manassis's approach for preschoolers, school-age children, and adolescents. While this outstanding book is definitely very useful for all mental health clinicians, it is especially invaluable as a teaching tool for trainees in all mental health disciplines. I particularly appreciated the discussion of how to effectively communicate case formulations to children and their families."--Simon Davidson, MD, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Department of Psychiatry, University of Ottawa, Canada -Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

Guilford Publications Treating Traumatized Children
Book SynopsisFeaturing extensive case studies, this volume provides a unique window into implementation of evidence-based treatments in real-world community settings. Experienced therapists illustrate the use of three effective therapies for traumatized children and their caregivers: trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), child-parent psychotherapy (CPP), and parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT). Covering the entire process of assessment and intervention, the cases highlight ways to maintain treatment fidelity while addressing complex clinical challenges with diverse clients. Experts in the respective therapy models offer instructive commentaries at the end of each case. The book also provides a concise introduction to each model, including its theoretical underpinnings, empirical support, and applications.Trade Review"This book’s innovative use of succinct but thorough overviews of three prominent evidence-based treatment models, combined with case studies and expert commentary, results in a practitioner-oriented educational tool for those of us treating children exposed to trauma. I recommend it for students in graduate school as well as professionals in community practice."--Lisa Amaya-Jackson, MD, MPH, Associate Director, UCLA-Duke National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, Duke University School of Medicine "Allen and Kronenberg have creatively addressed the important issue of how to effectively infuse evidence-based practices into clinical work with children of different ages. This is an engaging book because of the integration of research with clinical application. The expert commentaries are particularly helpful for enabling the reader to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of the therapist's approach in each case. This is an important resource for all clinicians who work with traumatized children and their families, as well as for psychology graduate students, child psychiatric residents, and social workers and counselors in training."--Joy D. Osofsky, PhD, Barbara Lemann Professor, Departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center "An excellent overview of the major empirically based approaches for trauma work with children. The extended case studies with commentaries by major figures in the field highlight the nuanced issues typically encountered in applying these approaches and make this volume incredibly useful for practitioners and students learning these techniques. I recommend this book highly for graduate courses and staff training at agencies. It is useful for introducing the approaches as a prelude to gaining more focused accredited training and/or as follow-up for case discussions."--Sandra T. Azar, PhD, Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University "Provides the practicing clinician with a solid understanding of the core issues in evidence-based approaches for childhood trauma. Case examples from frontline clinicians, along with commentary by treatment experts, highlight real-world applications, choice points, and common challenges.

Guilford Publications ParentLed CBT for Child Anxiety
Book SynopsisParents can play a strong role in helping their children overcome anxiety disorders--given the right tools. This innovative, research-based book shows clinicians how to teach parents cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to use with their 5- to 12-year-old. Session-by-session guidelines are provided for giving parents the skills to promote children's flexible thinking and independent problem solving, help them face specific fears, and tackle accompanying difficulties, such as sleep problems and school refusal. User-friendly features include illustrative case studies, sample scripts, advice on combining face-to-face sessions with telephone support, and pointers for overcoming roadblocks. Several parent handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.Trade Review"This book fills an important gap by helping therapists to empower parents with the skills and confidence to help their anxious child. Creswell and her coauthors give us a science-based, engaging, extremely practical book that is underpinned by years of experience. Detailed exercises and case examples ensure that any therapist will deliver consistent results. The strategies in this book will change the lives of children with anxiety disorders and their families."--Ronald M. Rapee, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and founding director, Center for Emotional Health, Macquarie University, Australia "Creswell et al. have harnessed their collective talent and considerable clinical experience in this eminently readable, highly useful guide. Unlike most treatments for anxious children--which are directed primarily, if not exclusively, to the children themselves--this approach is oriented toward the parents. By actively and collaboratively engaging the parents, the clinician can bypass many barriers to effective treatment with children. The approach is developmentally sensitive, contextually informed, evidence based, and low intensity (four of the eight sessions can be conducted by telephone). This is an impressive book with considerable potential."--Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, ABPP, University Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, Virginia Tech "Creswell and colleagues present an efficient and effective CBT-based program that enables parents to help their children overcome the distress and functional impairment associated with problematic anxiety. Clearly written and well organized, this book guides providers at all levels through each step of the treatment process, from the initial assessment through relapse prevention. It contains a multitude of useful charts, figures, and case examples."--John C. Piacentini, PhD, ABPP, Director, Childhood OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program, UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior "A succinct, incredibly practical, and well-written book. Therapists get knowledge and tools for working effectively with parents of children struggling with anxiety. I hope that many parents have the opportunity to experience this empowering approach."--Wendy K. Silverman, PhD, ABPP, Alfred A. Messer Professor of Child Psychiatry and Director, Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine "When I teach Introduction to Child and Family Therapy, one of the first questions that comes up is how to work with parents. This book is the best resource for students seeking answers to this question. It is so clear, scientifically grounded, and clinically useful that I strongly recommend it as a supplemental text and a resource for clinicians at all levels. Teaching parents how to implement the skills that therapists have been studying for years will expand the reach of our efforts with anxious children, and, most probably, will improve our outcomes."--Eduardo L. Bunge, PhD, Clinical Psychology PhD Program, Palo Alto University "I can't wait to use this book in my practice with parents! The authors present a clear, step-by-step, evidence-based guide for therapists. With this book, practitioners can teach parents (who often believe erroneously that reassuring their anxious child will help) to foster their child’s independence, 'curiosity' about his or her worries, and testing of possible solutions. Parents will see their children gain perspective, mastery, and confidence as their fears decrease."--Cynthia G.

Guilford Publications Motivational Interviewing with Offenders
Book SynopsisFrom experts on working with court-mandated populations, this book shows how motivational interviewing (MI) can help offenders move beyond resistance or superficial compliance and achieve meaningful behavior change. Using this evidence-based approach promotes successful rehabilitation and reentry by drawing on clients' values, goals, and strengths--not simply telling them what to do. The authors clearly describe the core techniques of MI and bring them to life with examples and sample dialogues from a range of criminal justice and forensic settings. Of crucial importance, the book addresses MI implementation in real-world offender service systems, including practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.Trade Review"MI has deservedly gained a substantial national and international following because of its positive pathways to creating change. This clearly written, easily accessible book--with examples throughout--explains the philosophy, rationale, strategy, and tactics of applying MI in criminal justice and related settings. Mental health and criminal justice professionals and students who are interested in correctional rehabilitation, probation and parole, offender reentry, restorative justice, or alternative dispute resolution should view this book as essential reading."--Bruce D. Sales, PhD, JD, ScD (h.c.), Virginia L. Roberts Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Indiana University Bloomington "This is a book that many of us have been anticipating for a long time. MI is one of a small number of true evidence-based (and strengths-based!) success stories in offender rehabilitation. This book brings the technique alive in a way that I hope will transform theory and practice in the field."--Shadd Maruna, PhD, Professor of Criminology, University of Manchester, United Kingdom "Comprehensive, practical, and easy to read. Motivational Interviewing with Offenders addresses all aspects of the offender change process--assessment, treatment, case management, and supervision. Everything one needs to apply MI is contained in this book. It should be mandatory reading for clinicians; students and interns; parole, probation, and correctional officers; residential staff members; and program administrators and supervisors. Even the most experienced change agent will benefit from the book's respectful approach and plentiful, very helpful examples."--Pamela M. Yates, PhD, Cabot Consulting and Research Services, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada "Whether you deliver direct treatment or offender supervision services, manage programs responsible for achieving improved offender outcomes, or design systemwide interventions to improve public safety, this refreshingly readable book articulates a proven way forward. While a court may order treatment, it cannot order lasting change--commitment to real change and long-term recovery is always a choice. This book outlines the essentials for helping an offender to make that choice and move from conflict, to compliance, to commitment. I highly recommend it for anyone working with justice system–involved individuals, and especially those working in treatment courts."--Terrence D. Walton, MSW, CSAC, Chief Operating Officer, National Association of Drug Court Professionals "Stinson and Clark beautifully illustrate an empirically guided intervention approach that is respectful of offenders' autonomy and capacity to change. They convincingly demonstrate how MI is able to provide people who have committed crimes with the internal and external resources to enhance their quality of life and reduce the chances of further harm to the community. The book is beautifully written, scholarly, and accessible to practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. In my view, this is one of the most important books of the decade on offender rehabilitation."--Tony Ward, PhD, School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand -Motivational Interviewing (MI) has a natural home in serving society's most marginalized people, and perhaps no group fits that description as well as sexual offenders….The book presents many practical examples of how to incorporate the spirit of MI into a variety of aspects of sex offender treatment and management, from the first contact with the sex offender to management of them in the community. There is a good balance between practical information and the philosophy behind MI and the rationale for applying it to sex offenders….I would recommend this book to practitioners of all levels of experience and skill. For new therapists, the material is presented in a way that is easily understandable and practical. For the seasoned veteran this book will provide new and different ways to engage clients and remind us to think of our clients as being more than just their offending.--Association for the Treatment of Sexual Offenders (ATSA) Forum, 08/14/2018Table of Contents1.

Guilford Publications Treating Sex Offenders
Book SynopsisThis structured yet flexible manual presents an innovative group treatment approach that targets deficits in self-regulationâa central problem for sex offenders. Safe Offender Strategies (SOS) comprises 10 evidence-based modules that teach participants the skills to desist from problem behaviors, manage their emotions and impulses, and break unhealthy relationship patterns. Motivational enhancement and validation techniques are woven throughout this collaborative treatment. SOS can be used with a range of clientsâincluding high-risk offenders and those with mental illness or intellectual disabilitiesâin institutional or outpatient settings. Fifteen reproducible forms and worksheets can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.Trade Review"Stinson and Becker have opened a new and optimistic chapter in the so-far frustrating search for solutions to sexual violence. Offering respectful criticisms of prior therapeutic approaches, they provide an alternative that is standardized, can be systematically evaluated, and is supported by preliminary empirical studies. Ultimately, desistance from sexual crime depends on each offender's willingness to change; fortunately, the approach in this book is adherent to well-known principles of prosocial behavior change. Beautifully written, this comprehensive, practical treatment guide promises to be used and tested for years to come."--Joel A. Dvoskin, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry, University of Arizona College of Medicine "An enormously important contribution. In the last three decades, the approach to sexual offending has been almost unrelentingly punitive. Stinson and Becker outline a rigorous, empirically grounded approach to treatment, in a style that is accessible and clear. This book needs to be on the shelf of anyone assessing or treating someone who has committed a sexual offense. It will stand as a landmark in the evolution of sex offender treatment."--John Petrila, JD, LLM, Vice President of Adult Policy, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, Dallas, Texas "This manual addresses a vital criminal justice and public health issue. Without losing sight of public safety concerns, the authors identify methods for establishing a caring, empathic therapeutic alliance. The importance of basing therapeutic interventions on well-documented empirical evidence is properly emphasized. This is a thought-provoking work that educates rather than indoctrinates. It will be a useful resource for both clinicians and students."--Fred S. Berlin, MD, PhD, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Director, National Institute for the Study, Prevention, and Treatment of Sexual Trauma "This authoritative account of the SOS program by leading experts represents an important addition to the literature on treatment for sexual offending. SOS is founded on an incisive model of self-regulatory processes in affective, cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains. This innovative, step-by-step manual warrants the attention of researchers and practitioners who are committed to reducing the serious and lasting harm inflicted on society by sexual offenders."--Christopher J. Patrick, PhD, Department of Psychology, Florida State University-The modules present well-organized psychoeducational curriculums….Stinson and Becker have presented an interesting and detailed treatment model that incorporates aspects of evidence-based approaches including motivational interviewing and dialectical behavioral therapy.--PsycCRITIQUES, 06/26/2013Table of Contents1.

Guilford Publications Social Justice in Schools
Book SynopsisThis book guides PreK-12 educators and school-based clinicians on how to embed socially just practices into their day-to-day roles to achieve more equitable outcomes. Social Justice in Schools uses vivid vignettes and personal reflections to demystify complex concepts. It pinpoints ways educators can better understand their racially and ethnically minoritized students, reflect on and challenge implicit bias in assessment and decision making, and build meaningful homeâschool relationships. Chapters begin with clearly framed learning outcomes and close with discussion questions and resources for professional learning. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible handouts and forms that can be downloaded and printed for repeated use. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.Trade Review"This essential book will engage educators across disciplines and at all levels--from preservice teachers to practicing school psychologists. It provides insight into what social justice means in the context of schooling and how educators' daily practices can facilitate social justice for the children, families, and communities they serve. Barrett has created an easy-to-read book that is a call to action for educators concerned with equity, fairness, and opportunity for marginalized students."--Sherrie L. Proctor, PhD, School Psychology Program, Queens College, City University of New York "A toolkit for educators who endeavor to transform their classrooms into just communities. Barrett skillfully weaves theory, research, and social justice practices, and includes thought-provoking exercises at the end of each chapter. The rich stories, helpful diagrams, and community-building activities will help educators develop the needed skill set to practice social justice in the schoolhouse. Drawing on his own experiences as a school psychologist, Barrett has crafted a needed resource aligned with the NASP Practice Model."--Terri N. Watson, PhD, School of Education, The City College of New York "While many social justice books are written from a theoretical perspective that leaves the reader wondering what to do next, Barrett’s book focuses on knowledge and tools that educators can use right away. Case studies, vignettes, resources, and reflection questions aid in understanding specific ways to enact anti-racist ideals. Using the 'Five C's of Equity' described in the book will allow school teams to change practices, policies, and behavior to ensure equitable outcomes. A 'must read'!"--Andria Amador, EdD, NCSP, Senior Director of Behavioral Health Services, Boston Public Schools "Barrett highlights the intersection between theory and practice in order to move equity from talk to action. He provides a roadmap on how to ensure adult issues don’t get in the way of responding to what students need. This text inspires and equips educators in contexts where equity is a collective goal. What resonates with me most as a superintendent is how the book helps us learn more about not just what we think social justice is in schools, but, more important, what we can do with it."--Nyah D. Hamlett, EdD, Superintendent, Chapel Hill–Carrboro City Schools, North Carolina "Social Justice in Schools is a book for this day and time. Barrett adeptly walks the fine line between the prescriptive and descriptive to give educators a framework to appropriately serve the children in their care. This book is for new and veteran teachers, school psychologists, and other school professionals. As a middle school division director and an educational consultant, I found tangible tools for professional development. Run, don't walk, to get this book."--Worokya Duncan, EdD, Head of Upper School, The Cathedral School of St. John the Divine, New York City "Rooted in Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, this book provides an accessible, resourceful, and thorough framework for centering social justice work in school contexts. Drawing on literature from multiple disciplines and from his own positionalities and life experiences as a Black professional, Barrett challenges the reader to critically reflect about power and to unlearn deficit frames. He invites all educators to a journey of creative co-imagination of systemic change at the level of policy, assessment, and in learning spaces, proposing a transformation that can center all languages and ways of learning."--María Rosa Brea-Spahn, PhD, CCC-SLP, Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders, New York University-Table of ContentsForeword, Ivory A.
