   This book is a wealth of information for those who work or plan to work with justice involved clients. Having worked in the field of probation for several years, I believe that the biggest benefit of using this material is that it adds structure to meetings with clients. What is most remarkable is that it includes sample scripts to use during interactions, which allow you to implement the techniques almost flawlessly.
   Additionally, the worksheets included seem to resonate with my clients. I feel that when using the worksheets, not only are my sessions more productive, but clients are more engaged and open to communicate. In my opinion, using the worksheets strengthens the therapeutic alliance, and they give clients a voice in their own mission towards success. For those who work with justice involved clients, this book is a useful resource for beginners, intermediates, and veterans alike.

   This is a must-have and must-use comprehensive guide to evidence-based forensic CBT assessment and treatment, that should be required reading for criminal justice courses, mental health professionals, magistrates, and parole officers. Drs. Tafrate, Mitchell, and Simourd have translated the latest in forensic science into a practical and interactive methods to elicit and champion change in clients. With a dedicated focus on reduction of recidivism, and an easy-to-learn format which includes scripts, handouts, and templates, “CBT with Justice-Involved Clients” won’t be collecting dust on your bookshelf!
   
   My advice is to start in the back with standardized test selection, worksheets to analyze anger episodes, and fillable treatment plans for harmful lifestyle patterns. Invaluable resources!

   This book is an absolutely amazing resource especially for someone just starting out in the field like myself. This book provides various user friendly tools, worksheets and interventions that help identify and address criminogenic needs of all justice involved clients. These exercises are constructed in an affirming and client-center manner that allows the clients to provide their own insight on their strengths and areas for improvements. Being a new case manager, I have utilized many of these scripts and interventions to improve my CBT and Motivational Interviewing skills to elicit more change talk from clients about making real changes in their lives. This book has so much to offer and I 100% recommend it for anyone looking for resources specific to justice involved clients!

   This book is an excellent resource for any clinician working with clients involved with the criminal justice system! It has a lot of worksheets and examples that have made it easier for me to use the material with my own clients. I particularly enjoyed the detailed discussion of criminal risk domains and how they can inform case conceptualizations. The book is well-written, engaging, and informative. I highly recommend it!

   I most commonly see these clients in an addiction treatment setting and this book offers a complementary approach to addictions treatment to better meet the needs of justice-involved clients with a substance use disorder. In many ways, helping clients to stay out of jail and prison is the top priority in treatment, because I cannot help them if they are reincarcerated. I've had to come up with my own strategies to help clients stay out of jail or prison, but this book gives me so many more evidence-based tools to offer my clients. Really, a must-read for anyone working with justice-involved clients.

   This is an excellent tool to utilize for case management. I work with juveniles, so some of the suggestions I have to tweak in regard to delivery or scaffolding, but it gets to the crux of an individual’s needs & quickly assists in shaping new cognitive pathways. It’s easy to navigate in regard to what skills one might need, and thoroughly explains how to disseminate the information to the client. Each cognitive exercise only takes about fifteen minutes to execute (give or take depending on how willing the client is) but gives the case manager a plethora of information to fall back upon & remind the individual of. This is worth every penny & I was surprised just how affordable it is, as I was expecting & willing to pay three times as much. (I even slip some of these exercises into conversations w my friends; they’re none the wiser.)

   As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, working with justice involved youth for the past 6 years, I have found this book to stand out in its expertise and clarity. Comprehensive, informative, and practical, this text offers cognitive behavioral, evidenced-based strategies focusing specifically on the unique risks and needs of clients in the justice-system. The depth and richness of case vignettes, along with concrete skills, interventions, and treatment plan examples, makes for clear comprehension and seamless integration of new practice methods. Additionally, my colleagues and I appreciate the numerous forms and templates which correspond with various assessments and interventions outlined in the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone working with justice-involved clients; it is an invaluable resource that should not be overlooked.
