Series: Fundamentals of Clinical Practice With Couples and Families Series

Addressing the critical intersection between mental health and the legal system, this book presents a competency-based approach to clinical practice with justice-involved couples and families.

Author Corinne C. Datchi demonstrates that couple and family interventions are vital components of rehabilitation for both youth and adults, supporting positive family involvement and enhancing solutions to delinquency and crime. Chapters lay out essential data about juvenile and criminal justice systems, correctional populations, family systems theory, and forensic mental health issues, incorporating an understanding of these factors into the systemic assessment, case conceptualization, intervention, and treatment of clinical problems.

A compelling case study brings this foundational knowledge to life, with a focus on systems thinking and scientific knowledge, and illustrates the functional competencies necessary to work effectively with couples and families in the juvenile and criminal justice system. The book outlines evidence on couple and family-focused interventions with justice-involved populations, and demonstrates how to use this information about effective therapeutic models.

The volume is the first in the APA Fundamentals of Clinical Practice With Couples and Families Series that illustrates the application of specialty professional competencies in this area.

Reviews for Best Clinical Practices for Treating Families in Juvenile and Criminal Justice Systems

Dr. Datchi provides a concise yet thorough review of the diverse nature of incarcerated families and the systemic crises that derail them in an already traumatic moment, and offers evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies. This book deserves to be on an accessible shelf where we can reach for it again and again.--LINDA BERG-CROSS, PHD, ABPP, PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY, HOWARD UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, DC This remarkable book covers the field of empirically supported therapies for this hard-to-treat population while also providing clinical guidance on the implementation of these models. In this way it covers the substance of evidence-based practices and the common factor elements needed to use them.--GUY DIAMOND, PHD, DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR FAMILY INTERVENTION SCIENCE, DREXEL UNIVERSITY, AND PROFESSOR EMERITUS, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, PHILADELPHIA, PA
