During the past decade the most significant advances in treating both individuals with criminal involvement and drug abuse problems as separate populations have been in the field of cognitive behavioral psychology. Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment presents effective cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches for changing the behaviors of individuals who have both problems of substance abuse and criminal behavior. The book unveils a state-of-the-art approach for effectively preventing criminal recidivism and substance abuse relapse within community based and correctional settings. Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment provides operational guidelines for a 9 to 12 month curriculum, specifically designed for substance abusing offenders. Rationale, objectives, content, and presentation sequence have been developed for three phases of treatment delivery: challenge to change, commitment to change, and ownership of change. Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment is ideal for substance abuse counselors, probation officers, parole and corrections counselors, psychologists, social workers, judges, district attorneys, mental health professionals, treatment center staff, corrections staff, domestic violence and sexual assault treatment specialists, and health care professionals.
