内容説明

The essence of Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) is that people behave in ways which make sense to them and are consistent with their view of the world. Offenders are no different and this book provides a framework for the clinicians with which to understand and make sense of an offender's behaviour, with practical suggestions for clinical practice. There is a well established method (repertory grid techniques) for establishing these constructs, which can then guide therapy and counselling. Part 1 contains a general introduction to personal construct theory and offending, how to use repertory grids, the application of the theory and techniques to assessment and treatment of offending behaviour and measurement of subsequent change. Part 2 reviews what is known about the ways in which different types of offender make sense of the world and addresses the implications for assessment and treatment.

内容説明

People behave in ways that make sense to them and are consistent with their own understanding and views of the world. Offenders are no different, and personal construct theory and techniques offer the clinician and therapist a powerful framework for understanding an individual s view of the world, which has practical implications for assessment and treatment. Julia Houston has many years experience of using Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) in offender rehabilitation. Her book is aimed at clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists and nurses, and probation officers and social workers, who work with offenders in secure or community settings. For those unfamiliar with PCP this book provides a concise introduction to the concepts, and methods (principally the use of repertory grids), which would be useful in many clinical and therapeutic settings. But the unique feature of the book is the focus on offender assessment and treatment, showing how PCP relates to offending behaviour and offenders, and demonstrating how PCP is used with a variety of offender types. There are specialised chapters on young offenders, violent offenders, sexual offenders, personality disordered offenders, mentally ill offenders and those with problems of alcohol or drug abuse.
