Building Motivation for Change in Sexual Offenders
edited by David S. Prescott, L.I.C.S.W.
No credible evidence exists to prove that punishing people reduces their willingness to cause harm again. In fact, research indicates that a harsh, confrontational approach does not work over the long term. So how do you motivate your tough clients? How do you create a client/therapist environment that promotes your client’s willingness to change?
The book includes both theoretical and concrete approaches that focus on problems most professionals have experienced. (2009)
- Explain the relationship between treatment readiness and motivation to change
- Discuss the use of the Good Lives Model to motivate participation in treatment
- Describe the goals and methods of the Rockwood Preparatory Program for Sexual Offenders
- List the four basic principles of motivational interviewing
- Explain the uses of motivational interviewing techniques in group treatment
