Summary:

"In this training video, psychotherapist George De Leon discusses how a therapeutic community uses its social environment to change individuals' behaviors, lifestyles, and identities. De Leon explains that the community is the method itself: constant participation, evaluation, feedback and reinforcement of personal responsibility are core components of daily life. You will learn about the common personality characteristics of people with substance abuse disorders that TCs address; the importance of creating psychological separateness from the outside culture and creating space that reflects a community environment; and the structure of day-to-day life including the resident work program, phase format, pathways of communication, duration of program, and community activities. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher
