This book is unique in its focus on the actual practice of psychotherapy in correctional facilities rather than on standards or issues of medication. With a particular emphasis on supportive psychotherapy with adult patients, it draws on the authors' extensive experience in the field and features case vignettes that serve to bring some of the most important points to life. All those practicing in correctional settings will benefit from this comprehensive volume that will equip them to focus on and treat the human before them, irrespective of their crime or the setting.
