Effects of Cognitive-Behavioral Programs for Criminal Offenders

Publication year: 2007 | Cataloged on: Jan. 09, 2008
ANNOTATION: The "relationships of selected moderator variables to the effects of CBT [cognitive-behavioral therapy] on the recidivism of general offender populations" are examined (p. 4). This report has these sections: background; objectives; methods; findings according to mean effect of CBT on recidivism, relationship of method to effect size, effect size variation associated with treatment and its recipients, relative influence of different moderator variables, and effects of "best practice" CBT on recidivism; and conclusions and implications. All things considered, no one form of CBT is better than another. They all reduce participant recidivism to the same general degree.
