Reviews and Endorsements
This book provides a welcome focus upon individual work and learning from the expertise of practitioner psychologists. As academics, and policy makers, we have much to learn from expert practitioners, who are not beholden to the biases of the managerialism of the treatment industry. Real world issues such as working within covid based restrictions are also covered highlighting both challenges and some of the new learning from our practice informing how we may improve services. Very well worth a read for anyone interested in the real world of forensic practice. - Graham Towl, Professor of Forensic Psychology, Durham University and formerly Chief Psychologist, Ministry of Justice, UK.
This book could not be more welcome. In an era when resources are scant and opportunities to discuss cases with others are few, this collection of case studies fills the void. Not only does it focus on best practices generally, it provides wisdom and expertise on how to adapt services to build clients’ ability to respond to treatment. The topics themselves will be of interest to all at the front lines of forensic treatment. The innovative ideas on individualized treatment for sexual offending, fire setting, and domestic violence will be helpful to all readers. - David S. Prescott, Director, Continuing Education Center, Safer Society Foundation, US.
