Book SynopsisThere is a long history of behavioral approaches to psychopathology. Recent work, however, has focused instead on cognitive, psychodynamic and integrative approaches. Behavioral Case Formulation and Intervention redresses this imbalance by exploring radical behaviorism and its approach to the conceptualization, case formulation and treatment of psychopathology. Peter Sturmey describes the conceptual foundations of functional approaches to case formulation and intervention, explains the technology and application of behavioral assessment and hypothesis-driven intervention, and identifies outstanding and conceptual and practical problems within this framework.Trade Review?I would recommend this book to students of psychology, psychologists, psychology departments located in university and hospital settings, libraries in university and hospital settings, psychiatrists, social workers and health behavior departments in university settings.?

Book SynopsisA comprehensive resource for practitioners working with sexual offenders. Discusses assessments and interventions, as well as providing a comprehensive literature review There are around 10,000 convictions or cautions for sexual offences in the UK each year; early evidence suggests that treatment programmes can halve re-conviction rates Edited by a University of Birmingham team who are world leaders in researching this area; the subject is of interest worldwide, with strong markets in Canada and New Zealand Includes material on managing offenders with developmental disabilities and those with Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder Trade Review"Within this book, Beech and his colleagues have set out to provide a comprehensive body of knowledge for professionals with a remit for assessing and treating sex offenders.9 This aim has been meticulously developed and it offers a scholarly, though accessible resource of great value within this field.9 For its breadth and thoroughness in achieving this objective, I commend it highly." (ATSA Forum, Spring 2011) "This is an exceptionally valuable compendium combining current knowledge and recent advances in the field of sex offender theory, research and practice." (Association for the treatment of sexual abusers, 2011) "The text has a number of strengths which distinguishes it from the rapidly growing corpus in this field. The most notable of these is the emphasis on applying the general techniques and concepts of assessment and treatment to specific sex offender populations. This includes groups that are often neglected such as female and juvenile sex offenders, as well as sex offenders with Learning difficulties and/or mental health problems. A further strength is the discussion of the utility and evidenced efficacy on comparatively new measures used in England and Wales, such as the penile plethysmograph and polygraph. Such discussions are essential given current trends in penal policy and practice with sex offenders. For those practitioners, academics and students who are interested in the assessment and treatment of sex offenders this Handbook is a significant addition to the literature and should be placed within easy reach on the bookshelf." (The Howard Journal, July 2010) "An eclectic collection of chapters which cover all aspects of scholarly understanding concerning sex offenders, Assessment and Treatment of Sex Offenders: A Handbook will prove invaluable to researchers, practitioners and students interested in furthering their understanding of this often complex offender group. "This book will prove an essential text to professionals and students who are involved in the study of, assessment, treatment and/or management of sex offenders. A book which covers the area so comprehensively has been a significant omission for some time, and thus this text is timely and fulfils a significant gap in the academic market." –Professor Jane L.

Book SynopsisAssessments in Forensic Practice: A Handbook provides practical guidance in the assessment of the most frequently encountered offender subgroups found within the criminal justice system.Trade ReviewAssessment in Forensic Practice: A Handbook is an interesting compilation of theme-based chapters by British psychologists. It is a wonderful primer on doing criminal assessments and provides an in-depth review of many standard assessment tools, such as the Historical Clinical Risk Management-20 (HCR-20) and the Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG). It also includes informative chapters concerning specific conditions, such as pyromania. The book is very good at covering large concepts that are often discussed in the psychiatric and psychological literature on criminal forensic assessment. Over the course of the book, many important areas are discussed, such as ethical concerns when doing forensic assessments, how to present opinions related to forensic assessment, and some of the inherent problems in forensic assessment, such as unknown base rates for malingering and difficulty with predicting the future.Journal of Psychiatric PracticeTable of ContentsAbout the Editors vii Contributors ix 1.

Book SynopsisRecent trends within community policing suggest that the next generation of community policing will be more knowledge-based, involving a shift toward a problem-oriented and strategic use of information as a basis for management and better use of police resources. The Handbook of Knowledge-Based Policing examines how knowledge-based policing can improve the effectiveness, equity and efficiency of community policing. With contributions from a mix of academics and practitioners, this volume: Critically evaluates the effectiveness of community policing in seven countries. Discusses intelligence-led policing and the emergence of knowledge-based policing. Examines the impact knowledge-based policing will have on policing initiatives.

Book SynopsisDeveloping and Delivering Practice-based Evidence promotes a range of methodological approaches to complement traditional evidence-based practice in the field of psychological therapies. Represents the first UK text to offer a coherent and programmatic approach to expand traditional trials methodology in the field of psychological therapies by utilizing evidence gained by practitioners Includes contributions from UK and US scientist-practitioners who are leaders in their field Features content appropriate for practitioners working alone, in groups, and for psychological therapy services Trade Review"The field of psychotherapy has witnessed an increasing emphasis on the need for research evidence that can inform clinical practice. As this volume most clearly illustrates, however, there is also an important need for clinical practice to offer input on the effectiveness of our treatments. More than just providing lip service to closing the gap between research and practice, this edited volume gives us specific suggestions and guidelines for how this may be done. Indeed, it is a major contribution in our search for therapy interventions that have both a firm grounding in research evidence and converging support from clinical reality." —Marvin R. Goldfried, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Stony Brook University, USA "We are now familiar with evidence based practice that has powerfully influenced service provision in the psychological therapies. As practitioners however, we are acutely aware of its limitations. Research that informs the evidence base we are routinely referred to is distant and remote from our experience. It feels disempowering as our every day practice is influenced by randomised controlled trials that espouse a medical model that does not reflect the diversity and complexity of practice as counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologist know it. We are acutely aware that clients with a single diagnosis are rare and that our clients come in unique packages that could never be captured in a meaningful group that could reliably be randomised for trial purposes. Practitioners have been marginalised and disempowered by current research paradigms and it is time for a change. This book provides just the change in emphasis that we are looking for and indeed hungry for. It provides a comprehensive account of everything a practitioner needs to know about the generation of practice based evidence. It is just the book that is needed to inspire practitioners to engage with research through meeting with others in practitioner networks or influencing the agencies they work in, to start collecting data. A ground swell of researcher practitioners engaging in meaningful research with their own clients or agencies can influence theory and practice for the future. Indeed practice based evidence could become the new evidence based practice. Many advocates of practitioner research, who have themselves already made substantial contributions to theory and practice through the development of theories, instruments and systems have contributed to this book. Indeed, it is a potentially historical text that captures in one volume the assembled knowledge of the vanguard who will lead essential changes in the way that knowledge is generated in the field of psychotherapy. It has the potential to be revolutionary as it becomes a recommended text for psychotherapy researchers and practitioners that will herald a shift in how research is conducted, who does it, how it is reported and the influence it will have on future services." —Professor Sue Wheeler, Director of Counselling and Psychotherapy Programme, University of Leicester, UKTable of ContentsList of Contributors.
