Forensic CBT

Forensic CBT: A Handbook for Clinical Practice is a superb collection that will be of immense value to practitioners who work with this challenging group of people. Leading contributors from the CBT approaches have written excellent chapters that will be immediately helpful, striking just the right balance between scholarship and practical application. There is an awareness of the specific challenges in working with offenders--- distrust, lack of motivation, history of problems, lack of social support, stigmatization---and, importantly, how to overcome them. I highly recommend this important volume to anyone working in the forensic area.

This handbook is long overdue as it fills a glaring void in forensic and correctional treatment. With its application of CBT to an array of offenders and their conditions, it elucidates the “forgotten R” (responsivity) in the RNR model of effective correctional intervention.

Incisive, comprehensive, scholarly, and practical - Tafrate and Mitchell’s Forensic CBT is an impressive body of work, with contributions from leaders in the field integrating innovations in applied research and clinical practice for cognitive behavioral approaches with forensic clientele.
