Offenders are no different, and personal construct theory and techniques offer the clinician and therapist a powerful framework for understanding an individual s view of the world, which has practical implications for assessment and treatment. Julia Houston has many years experience of using Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) in offender rehabilitation. Her book is aimed at clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists and nurses, and probation officers and social workers, who work with offenders in secure or community settings. For those unfamiliar with PCP this book provides a concise introduction to the concepts, and methods (principally the use of repertory grids), which would be useful in many clinical and therapeutic settings. But the unique feature of the book is the focus on offender assessment and treatment, showing how PCP relates to offending behaviour and offenders, and demonstrating how PCP is used with a variety of offender types. There are specialised chapters on young offenders, violent offenders, sexual offenders, personality disordered offenders, mentally ill offenders and those with problems of alcohol or drug abuse.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTHE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PERSONAL CONSTRUCT PSYCHOLOGY.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Personal Construct Psychology and Offending.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PCP Assessment of Offenders.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Therapy with Offenders--The PCP Perspective.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Repertory Grids and the Measurement of Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF PERSONAL CONSTRUCT PSYCHOLOGY WITHOFFENDERS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Young Offenders and Delinquency.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Violence and Aggression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sex Offenders.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Personality Disordered Offenders.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Alcohol, Drugs and Offending.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mental Illness and Offending.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Epilogue.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Further Reading and Resources.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\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","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52507375698200,"sku":"9780471966272","price":61.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471966272.jpg?v=1786445321","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/making-sense-with-offenders-personal-constructs-therapy-and-change-paperback-softback-9780471966272","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
