There is increasing pressure, soon to be legislation, forparticular offenders to be given a choice of psychologicaltreatment or imprisonment, even if treatment must sometimes bewithin special prison hospitals or units for offenders.
The key issue will be motivating offenders to commit themselves totreatment, and to maintain their motivation trough the therapeuticprogramme and thereafter, on release.
This is the first book to tackle the subject of motivatingoffenders in therapeutic programmes and as such, will prove aninvaluable resource for forensic practitioners.
* Written by some of the top clinical and forensic practitionersand researchers in offender rehabilitation
* There is a real demand for a book on this subject as a result ofchanges in criminal justice policy and in mental healthprovision
