Course/Module description:
This course reviews the history of the rehabilitative ideal in corrections and introduces the current scientific knowledge that available for researchers and practitioners. Specifically, the course elaborates the therapeutic approaches that practitioners use to rehabilitate offenders (psychodynamic, behavioral, social learning, cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, and family therapy). In addition, the course introduces the common correctional assessment and classification systems and the correctional paradigms that can guide practitioners toward effective interventions. The course also provides an overview of the treatment options for special populations of offenders (females, mental disorder, substance use, sex offenders, and juvenile delinquency).

Course/Module aims:
(1) To assess the context of correctional treatment from a theoretical, planning, and evaluation perspective. (2) To develop an understanding for the major, theoretically-based, approaches to group and individual treatment of offenders.
(3) To understand the challenges in translating the theoretical ideas into effective correctional intervention.
(4) To evaluate the main approaches to correctional treatment for special populations.
