Summary:

"In this training video, ten experts examine the critical components of effective treatment programs for violent individuals by focusing on prison programs in California and the UK. Beyond the creation of an environment of safety and respect, these therapists confront the patriarchal beliefs, social misperceptions, and destructive thoughts that precipitate violent responses to real or perceived threats. You will understand the common social misperceptions that lead offenders to violent behavior; describe the key elements of effective treatment for violence; and identify the specific skills necessary to work safely with violent individuals. Featured experts include James Gilligan, Peter Fonagy, Andy Smith, Robert Firestone, Lisa Firestone, Donald Meichenbaum, Hamish Sinclair, Peter Bennet, David Jones, and Felicity de Zulueta. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher
