To prepare for this assignment:

  • Review the article, “Historical and Personality Correlates to the Violence Patterns of Juveniles Tried as Adults.” Pay particular attention to the assessment instruments/procedures and how they are used to determine violence and associated risk factors.
  • Think about how the results reported in this article might be applied in a correctional setting.
  • Review the article, “Felony and Violent Recidivism Among Supermax Prison Inmates in Washington State: A Pilot Study.” Pay close attention to the important data and results, and any other key “takeaways” of the study, and consider how the study might be used in a correctional setting.
  • Review this week’s DVD program, “Application of Psychological Research – Correctional Settings.” Focus on what makes effective and ineffective criterion measures for analyzing recidivism, violent crime, and institutional adjustment.
  • Using the Walden Library, select a research article related to the assessment of violence potential.
  • Review the article you selected. Note how the study was conducted, the important data and results, and any other key “ takeaways” of the study.
  • Consider how the results of your chosen study might be used to predict the violence potential of someone in a correctional institution or who has been released on parole.

The assignment (1–2 pages):

  • Briefly summarize the research article you selected.
  • Explain how the potential for violence was assessed and the important data, results, and “key takeaways” from the study.
  • Explain how a forensic psychology professional might use the results from this study in a correctional setting.

1.  In communications family therapy, resistance and symptoms were treated with a variety of paradoxical techniques, known as therapeutic double-binds. Define and give an illustration of a therapeutic double-bind. Why were they considered so powerful?

2.  What was the positive impact of research on family dynamics and schizophrenia? What was its negative impact?

3. Some would argue that there is a radical divergence between family systems therapies and the more traditional psychotherapeutic approaches. Others would challenge this view, arguing that there are many points of similarity and that the differences are exaggerated. Which position do you agree with and why?

4.  What is essential to accomplish in the first session in order to establish a productive therapeutic alliance with a family?

5.  Why is it important for a clinician to develop a therapeutic hypothesis, and what are some of the elements that such a formulation should include?
