How to Work With Sex Offenders- A Handbook for Criminal Justice, Human Service, and Mental Health Professionals (Haworth Marriage and the Family)

Cover of ISBN 0789014998How to Work With Sex Offenders
A Handbook for Criminal Justice, Human Service, and Mental Health Professionals (Haworth Marriage and the Family):
Book by Rudy Flora. Haworth Clinical Practice Press 252 pages Paperback Published 2001-08. Description: ...is the first complete manual available on the subject for professionals who deal with this very difficult population
      • Review:: 'A Focus on Clinical and Bureaucratic Matters If you're a bureaucrat working with sex offenders this book will appeal to you. It gives a broad overview of the legal and clinical issues with lots of lists and bullet points. If you're more interested in the inter-personal dynamics of working with sex offenders or understanding what really motivates and drives them in their specific behaviors, then this book is not for you.

        I found the book curiously lacking and somewhat out of date, even though it was published in 2001. For example, there is no mention of online activities, like pornography and chat rooms, and how those are fueling the addictive cycles of the users and perhaps contributing to other behaviors that more directly affect people in physical ways. Indeed, there is only one small section at the end of the book on the subject of sex addiction. What about the victimizing of children in online porn? What about the use of chat rooms to lure adolescent girls and boys into face to face meetings? What about the increasing use of hidden digital cameras for voyeuristic activities? These, and others, are the new frontier in offending, so to speak.

        The author is in private practice but his previous years as a probation officer illuminate his approach to the subject. Although he includes a six page section on women offenders, Flora's view of sex offenders is definitely a male view, and he seems to view them overwhelmingly as heterosexual males abusing women and children. Exhibitionists and voyeurs seem to be males, for example.

        I found the author's omission of a discussion of cultural background and racial propensities in offending notable, especially given his Hispanic surname. Also, missing was any significant mention of sexual orientation issues.

        Overall, I found this book disappointing. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic, so I'll give it a somewhat neutral three stars rating.

      • Review:: 'Commendable Guide to Working With Sex Offenders Being associated with the realm of the mental health field, I have been further enlightened on the treatment of sex offenders through the proficiency of the author of this book. It is an advantageous textbook on its subject and should be considered a significant preparation for every novice of this field. Its reading should also be considered an additional compensation to the accomplished practitioner.
      • Review:: 'Definitive work On Sex Offenders This book is extremely comprehensive and well-written. It covers the broad range of topics related to the field of Sexual Offenders and does so in an informative,clear and user-friendly manner. The book is very practical in orientation and will be invaluable to practitioners struggling to keep abreast of developments in this field. This book also provides an excellent review of the research literature which should prove invaluable to academics, researchers and students interested in this area. Rudy Flora has put together a well-organized volume,which covers the field very comprehensively. This will undoubtedly be considered a definitive handbook in working with Sexual Offenders. As a practicing clinical psychologist, I would recommend it without reservation.
      • Review:: 'A Must Reference Book for all Mental Health Providers! Flora utilizes his many years of expertise while drawing from the scholars in the field to compile an excellent resource on how to work with sex offenders. This book is a must for all professionals and students in the field of mental health.

Designing, Implementing, And Managing Treatment Services For Individuals With Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders- Blueprints For Action

Book by Edward L. Hendrickson. Haworth Press 234 pages Hardcover Published 2006-03-31. Description: Your blueprint to develop and manage effective co-occurring treatment programs!

Sequential or parallel treatments for co-occurring disorders are much less effective than a quality co-occurring treatment program. Most mental health and substance abuse professionals know how to provide an effective program for individuals with a substance use or mental health disorder, but few are aware of the issues involved in providing services for those with dual diagnosis. Designing, Implementing, and Managing Treatment Services for Individuals with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders: Blueprints for Action gives you with the tools you need to develop an effective program specific to co-occurring treatment as well as to implement and manage the program's services.

Author Edward Hendrickson shares his knowledge from over two decades of developing and implementing co-occurring treatment services. Designing, Implementing, and Managing Treatment Services for Individuals with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders: Blueprints for Action is thorough, insightful, and informative, covering all facets of plan and execution, helping you form strategies to address a co-occurring treatment program's unique issues. The book examines the historical basis of the current dual treatment system to provide the philosophical tenets the program must follow and the essential qualities for an effective treatment program. It explores the issues in creating a new program or expanding an existing one, as well as the mechanics of day-to-day management. Helpful appendices, tables, and case examples illustrate the discussion.

Designing, Implementing, and Managing Treatment Services for Individuals with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders: Blueprints for Action discusses:

developing the necessary infrastructure for integrated treatment programs

the eight essential qualities for an effective treatment program

choosing a target population

identifying specific services to implement

implementation of services in an existing treatment setting

implementation of services in a non-mental health or substance abuse setting

hiring and training staff

clinical supervision and human resource development

program management issues

multilevel and multi-organization systems

steps to ensure program survival

Designing, Implementing, and Managing Treatment Services for Individuals with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders: Blueprints for Action is more than an instructional text for students; it is an essential resource for any substance abuse and mental health professional considering implementing a co-occurring treatment program.
