Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

The practitioners who contributed to this volume describe the theory, practice and management of democratic therapeutic communities (TCs) in UK prisons using clinical examples and case studies. They explore the complexities of working in TCs and the powerful emotional impact generated in the process of therapy in the forensic setting. In particular, they focus on the previous life history of offenders in therapy and on the effect of former relationship experiences on offenders' behaviour.
