New Theory, Narrow Scientific Path, Rejection of Psychopathology
Published by RESEARCH COUNCIL , 1 year ago
Authors developed an original theory that underwrites the book. They firmly reject the Freudian psychiatry and psychopathology schools. Other survey texts offer broader theoretical contents and devote entire chapters to psychopathology. I'm donating my PB edition to Escondido Public Library because at this point in my digestion I'm more aligned to what these authors call "literary" approaches.
A great buy

Andrews and Bonta capture the essence of modern thinking about "What works" in criminal justice. They present a detailed history of how the "nothing works" thinking influenced the administration of corrections and justice. They also provide a wonderfully succinct guide to factors which are the important components of effective programming with offenders. Everyone who works with offenders should read this.
Great for Research!

I thought this book was superbly written. As an undergraduate student, I found this book extremely helpful in my forensic psychology seminar, as well as interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in criminology and/or psychology.
