The Criminal Personality, Volume II: The Change Process

by Stanton Samenow, Stanton Samenow

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.

This is a study of criminal behavior and how different actions affect rehabilitaion. This is not an easy read having been written for academics. I read it for my current employment and thought that many things were given a superficial treatment.
