Motivating Offenders to Change by Mary Mcmurran
Written by some of the top clinical and forensic practitioners and researchers in offender rehabilitation, this is the first book to tackle the subject of motivating offenders in therapeutic programs and as such, will prove an invaluable resource for forensic practitioners and those in the fields of social work and probation.
"..offers authoritative and critical information through which forensic clinical practice can develop." (Social Psychological Review, October 2003)
"...extremely informative..." (Vista Vol 10, 2005)
