In Facilitating Desitance from Aggression and Crime: Theory, Resarch, & Strength-based Practices, Drs. Calvin Langton and James Worling have gathered together internationally renowned authorities in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, criminology, social work, and law, to examine desistance as a construct, process, and outcome as well as the place of strengths work in forensic mental health practices. From theory to applied work in clinical settings, leading scholars have provided critical discussion of the empirical evidence base for strengths in dominant models, assessment tools, and treatment procedures used in efforts to facilitate desistance from aggression and crime. Chapters, reflecting various perspectives, are concentrated on distinct offending groups as well as clinical presentations, disorders, and types of reoffending. This timely volume is an essential scholarly resource with a clear practical emphasis for forensic mental health practitioners, researchers, and graduate students alike. From questions about strengths in treatment work in forensic practice to the role of individual, relational, and socio-structural factors in desistance from crime, this book provides readers with the latest in-depth research into the growing and evolving field of desistance theory and strength-based practices.
