This book offers a comprehensive overview of methods used in the U.S. Criminal Justice system for counseling and treating offenders, targeting advanced undergraduate and early graduate students in Correctional Treatment, Rehabilitation, or Community Corrections. It covers the aims and scope of correctional counseling, tools utilized by corrections workers, and behavioral modification and cognitive therapies, with examples and applications. Emphasizing the interaction between correctional components and other justice system elements, particularly courts—including specialized ones like family, drug, and veterans courts—the text addresses diverse populations within correctional facilities, such as juvenile offenders and those facing mental health or substance abuse issues. The author analyzes the impact of legislation on the corrections process and provides a comparative analysis of the criminal and juvenile justice systems, highlighting their goals and how these influence available counseling and treatment. Pedagogical features include interviews with correctional practitioners discussing challenges, discussion questions, classification instruments, real-world treatment examples, and case studies that allow students to select appropriate counseling or treatment approaches. This work equips students with an understanding of correctional treatment methods and critical thinking tools for their application.
