Product Description
This is the second of a three volume landmark study of the criminal mind. This book describes an intensive therapeutic approach designed to completely change the criminals way of thinking. The authors reject traditional treatment approaches as reinforcing of the criminals sense of being a victim of society. Rather Yochelson and Samenow stress that the criminal must make a choice to give up criminal thinking and learn morality. A Jason Aronson Book

 A thick book, 2007-09-21
I appreciate the detailed information in this book. I believe it is a good reference book for prison treatment staff. However, It is based on its own treatment program, and during the narration of its program, the information tend to repeats itself and becomes tedious. In all, I think it is informative.

This book is the most powerful in the series., 2000-11-04
I have used telling the criminal who he is and how he thinks often in my work. This alone gets their attention. To be so accurate about their thinking and reasoning has won hands down their interest and willingness to participate in the change process. They can't imagine you know already what really happens in their day to day thinking. To me this is the reference work I go back to time and again especially with difficult clients that have failed all other attempts at change. This book gave me the tools to work with the most hardened cases. If you don't understand the change process how can you guide them through it. Its most useful feature is the cases that are presented and the methods used to create change in thinking and action. If I had to choose which to buy it would be this one as it has taught me not only about the criminal mind but how it can be changed.

A RELEVENT READ!!, 2000-09-08
This is a great book! The author breaks the criminal down into parts such as what a criminal thinks about people, in general, what needs to take place within the criminal in order to change, and how they view the world. I was somewhat surprised the author views criminal behavor as a choice, not due to poverty, a fatherless home, or any of the usual reasons cited for a child becoming a criminal later in life. The author is a psychologist, but communicates logical concepts in language that is easy to understand by the layperson.
