Beschreibung

There is an urgent demand for treatment protocols designed specifically for women who abuse drugs, commit crimes, and receive treatment in correctional settings. Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment for Women in Correctional Settings answers the clamor by targeting the biological, psychological, and social roots of female substance abuse and crime. Designed as an adjunct to the Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment: Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change (SSC) curriculum, this provider's guide uses female-focused examples, exercises, role plays, and content enhancements that pinpoint women's treatment issues.
