Mad or Bad?

a Critical Approach to Counselling and Forensic Psychology

de Andreas Vossler, Catriona Havard, Graham Pike, Meg-John Barker, Bianca Raabe

Is an offender with mental health problems fully responsible for their offences? Should certain criminal behaviours be treated with incarceration and rehabilitation - or counselling and psychotherapy? Mad or Bad? asks these questions, and more. It is a cutting-edge text that provides a comprehensive introduction to mental health problems and criminal behaviour, and considers the most common and effective therapeutic approaches for working with offenders and victims of crime. --Cover
