Women Working in Criminal Justice
A Guidebook for Navigating Professional Challenges

by Laura Jakul & Bobbi Walling

With a chapter contributed by Shoshanna Must & Gretchen Sofocleous

The authors of this book acknowledge that working in criminal justice is challenging for anyone, male or female. They have written this book to help women in the field handle the special challenges that may cross their paths. It will also be a useful tool for male supervisors and colleagues for building awareness of the gender-related issues faced by their female colleagues.

The hybrid format of the book is intended to inform as well as to prompt self reflection. The case scenarios, questions, and reflections in each chapter provide a framework for women to process and explore their own experiences. Suggestions and considerations for practice follow each exercise to build professional awareness and efficacy, and enhance confidence in, as well as recognition of, the significant contributions of women working in criminal justice domains.

Effectively Managing Clinical Challenges to Optimize the Therapeutic Alliance
featuring Bobbi Walling, Laura Jakul & Brenda Ellerby

Treating sex offenders is challenging work for male and female therapists alike. But for women, there is an extra dimension when working with male clients. 

The presenters in this video discuss the unique challenges encountered by female therapists working with male clients. They provide strategies for overcoming these hurdles to create a more powerful therapeutic relationship. The video is a must-view for women therapists new to the field, and veterans looking for perspective on their own experiences. Male therapists should view the video to gain insights into the challenges faced by their female colleagues, especially if they have a supervisory role. Recorded at the 2014 ATSA conference in Chicago.
