Abstract: | The case for rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) with offenders is reviewed. Philosophical
and practical problems in conducting REBT assessment and treatment with this population are identified. Suggestions regarding
offender treatment address goals and content of therapy, the therapeutic relationship, overcoming client resistance, and self-care
for the practitioner. Therapists of offenders are encouraged to apply REBT to themselves to increase effectiveness and reduce
risk. In this regard, clinicians are offered suggestions regarding accepting the offender, maintaining a goal-oriented focus,
and taking responsibility for the quality but not the outcome of their work. |
