Written for the undergraduate and graduate future practitioner, Correctional Counseling, Treatment, and Rehabilitation will provide an overview of how counseling exists within the correctional environment, both in institutional settings and community-based settings. Author Robert D. Hanser, recognized for both scholarship and practice in correctional mental health treatment, uniquely positions this text to offer a real-world, practitioner focused approach to the topic.

Correctional Counseling, Treatment, and Rehabilitation approaches the reader with the presumption that there is a basic understanding of issues in corrections, however there is not any true exposure to offender treatment. Explaining the techniques and processes that are utilized in the actual treatment process, this text will equip all future correctional practitioners with an understanding of basic concepts within correctional counseling and treatment that are up-to-date and relevant to the world of practitioners. With a hands-on approach, this new text will guide students through how to apply this material throughout.
