De-incentivizing criminal behavior and replacing it with self-empowered change are the keys to upending the traditionally antagonistic relationship between criminals and those meant to help them change. The authors, with their experience of working with offenders and implementing rehabilitation programs, have drawn together clinical and academic perspectives on the treatment of high-risk offenders, analyzing current approaches to treatment and the problems encountered in their application. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCognitive Self Change \u003c\/i\u003erejects the traditional dichotomy of control versus treatment, devising instead a strategy that integrates both. Focusing on high-risk and “hard-core” offenders, not just those that are “ready to change,” they discuss why offenders offend, why they are seldom motivated to change, and why they often fail to engage in treatment. This leads to a strategy of communication that teaches offenders a set of skills they can use to change themselves, and that motivates them to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding Offending Behavior 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHard‐Core 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCognitive Self Change 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Human Connection 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhenomenology and Self‐reports: Some Preliminary Comments about Method 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSummary of Chapters 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 The Idea of Criminal Thinking 25\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEllis, Beck, and Antisocial Schemas 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePsychopathology or Irresponsibility 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Alternative Point of View 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Offenders Speak their Minds 48\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeven Male Offenders 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree Young Women 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree Violent Mental Health Patients 62\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo Problematic Groups 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree British Gang Members 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusions and Interpretations 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Cognitive–Emotional–Motivational Structure 78\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Idea of Conscious Agency: A Likely Story 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWill and Volition, Self and Self‐interest 82\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Model 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBasic Outlaw Logic: Learning the Rewards of Criminal Thinking 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVariations of Criminal Thinking 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusions and Implications 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Supportive Authority and the Strategy of Choices 97\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Problem of Engagement 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConditions of Communication and Engagement 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSupportive Authority 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRethinking Correctional Treatment 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Strategy of Choices 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinal Comments 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Cognitive Self Change 118\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFour Basic Steps 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollaboration and the Strategy of Choices 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrief Notes on Program Delivery: Group Size, Duration and Intensity, Facilitator Qualifications and Training 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Extended Applications of Supportive Authority 145\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy Offenders Need Help 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot Either\/Or: Some Promising Examples 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe System as the Intervention: Some Recent Examples 152\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSupportive Authority, Revisited 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Idealistic Proposal (with modest expectations) 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 How We Know: Some Observations about Evidence 162\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCognitive Self Change 164\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Significance of Subjectivity 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScience and Subjectivity 169\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 175\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 183\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52278163112216,"sku":"9780470974827","price":78.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470974827.jpg?v=1781458733","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/cognitive-self-change-how-offenders-experience-the-world-and-what-we-can-do-about-it-hardback-9780470974827","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
