Monday, October 31, 2005. Incarceration, Pain, and Motivation for Change.

I'll briefly summarize information I provided with key points made by workshop participants. According to Currie, incarceration fails to deter criminal behavior not in spite.

Tuesday, November 22, 2005. Anger Mgmt. vs Partner Abuse Intervention. While that is a debatable question, the story highlights an important point in understanding many domestic abusers. As Lundy Bancroft (in ‘Why Does He Do That’, 2002) puts it, the domestic abuser "isn’t abusive. Anger on her part) gets in the way of his perfect world and must not be tolerated.

http://cliniciansjournal.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 27, 2006. While I'm At It - Another New Link. Just found what looks like another great link. What I mean is that a question may be used as an indirect suggestion. For example, asking a client "How do you think you might manage to get out of that power struggle with your wife? May be an effective way to introduce the notion that he is in a power struggle. This type of question invites any family members present to consider the recursive nature of their relationships. I've been busy, clock...

http://cliniciansjournal.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 01, 2006. One question that was posed after the Partner Abuse intervention training in Springfield last week:. You say that group interventions with men who batter should be educational groups rather than therapy groups. One distinction you make between the two is to say that education is directive, the facilitator takes the group in a pre-determined direction, whereas therapy '. Meets the client where they are at. There are two points I think we need to keep in mind:. Other therapy models...

Monday, April 30, 2007. Here's a link to an interesting blog with a solution-focused slant. It's not strictly about counseling/therapy, infact the author seems more involved in coaching corporate businesses in using solution-focused leadership techniques. Nevertheless, there are some great pdf articles and lots of useful ideas. Posted by dulcimist at 11:48 AM. Andy Young's Clinical Journal.
