The Psychology of Correctional Therapeutics and Offender Rehabilitation: Approaching a Balanced Model of Inmate Treatment

handle is hein.journals/jpsych39 and id is 381 raw text is: Journal of Psychiatry & Law 39/Summer 2011 The psychology of correctional therapeutics and offender rehabilitation: Approaching a balanced model of inmate treatment BY J. TYLER CARPENTER, PH.D., AND GRAHAM SPRUIELL, M.D. A correctional policy of medically mandated, constitutionally guaranteed, and legally enforced mental health treatment for persons with mental illness sounds both humane and like good public policy. The widely assumed presumption is that such a framework exists and can be applied in correctional settings. Unfortunately, the piecemeal nature of current programs often interferes in addressing special offender populations such as persons with psychotic illness, sex offenders, psychopaths, substance abusers, domestic violence perpetrators, or any admixture thereof. This article concludes with a review of six cases that illustrate how clinicians, line staff, and administrative personnel in a typical prison milieu manage to finesse treatment under challenging conditions. KEY WORDS: Corrections, offender rehabilitation, prison treatment. AUTHORS' NOTE: For additional information about this article, please contact: J.
