Cognitive Restructuring to Address Criminogenic Needs
SESSION INFO
Monday, August 19, 2019
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop
The workshop will begin with a review of the “Big Four” criminogenic factors that evidence has shown place justice-involved individuals at highest risk for recidivism. Applying the principle of risk-need-responsivity-fidelity to the services that justice-involved individuals receive allows for measurable and significant impacts to criminal attitudes and behavior patterns. Workshop participants will discuss how their agencies are applying this principle and addressing criminogenic needs. The workshop will then use a brief mock session format to present a promising new cognitive behavioral treatment called “Interventions” that targets criminogenic needs and has shown preliminary evidence of statistical improvement in criminal attitudes. Participants will learn to articulate the components of the behavior chain, to understand the strong role of risky cognition in illegal behavior, and to utilize a cognitive restructuring approach to support behavior change. The workshop will provide concrete tools to enhance participants’ work with the individuals on their caseloads.
