The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate

The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate

In the aftermath of Martinson’s 1974 nothing works doctrine scholars have made a concerted effort to develop an evidence-based corrections theory and practice to show what works to change offenders. Perhaps the most important contribution to this effort was made by a group of Canadian psychologists most notably Donald Andrews James Bonta and Paul Gendreau who developed a treatment paradigm called the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model which became the dominant theory of correctional treatment. This approach was more recently challenged by a perspective developed by Tony Ward Shadd Maruna and others called the Good Lives Model (GLM). Based in part on desistance research and positive psychology this model proposes to rehabilitate offenders by building on the strengths offenders possess. GLM proponents see the RNR model as a deficit model that fixes dynamic risk factors rather than identifying what offenders value most and using these positive factors to pull them out of crime. Through a detailed examination of both models’ theoretical and correctional frameworks The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation: Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate probes the extent to which the models offer incompatible or compatible approaches to offender treatment and suggests how to integrate the RNR and GLM approaches to build a new and hopefully more effective vision for offender treatment. A foreword by renowned criminologist Francis T. Cullen helps put the material into context. This book will be of much interest to scholars and students studying correctional rehabilitation as well as practitioners working with offenders. | The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate

Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

This book proposes a new model of professional ethics enabling lawyers to advise clients upon both the law and ethics. This will better protect clients and society and enhance lawyers’ professional obligations. The current model of legal ethics developed in the 19th century specified that the role of lawyers was only to interpret the law not also to give ethical advice. This was acceptable to lawyers clients and society at that time. However this is not the case now and legal ethics no longer reflects the needs of modern legal practice. This book draws on moral philosophy to present a new model of legal ethics that explains the analytical process to include ethical advice. It analyses the potential harm of the present model to the legal profession who have duties to the law and justice that may compete with demands by clients to serve them. Further lawyers’ duty to clients to act in their best interests is sometimes not adequately fulfilled as legal ethics does not permit lawyers to give ethical advice even if it may be in clients’ best interests to do so. The work includes a detailed case study of corporate law practice to show why a new legal ethics is required. Other case examples are provided to demonstrate that lawyers practicing in all areas of law encounter ethical issues and they too will benefit from a new legal ethics. The book will be essential reading for students academics lawyers and professional bodies. | Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation

A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation

The Incarnation traditionally understood as the metaphysical union between true divinity and true humanity in the one person of Jesus Christ is one of the central doctrines for Christians over the centuries. Nevertheless many scholars have objected that the Scriptural account of the Incarnation is incoherent. Being divine seems to entail being omniscient omnipotent and omnipresent but the New Testament portrays Jesus as having human properties such as being apparently limited in knowledge power and presence. It seems logically impossible that any single individual could possess such mutually exclusive sets of properties and this leads to scepticism concerning the occurrence of the Incarnation in history. A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation aims to provide a critical reflection of various attempts to answer these challenges and to offer a compelling response integrating aspects from analytic philosophy of religion systematic theology and historical-critical studies. Loke develops a new Kryptic model of the Incarnation drawing from the Greek word Krypsis meaning ’hiding’ and proposing that in a certain sense Christ’s supernatural properties were concealed during the Incarnation.

Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications

Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications

Bayesian adaptive designs provide a critical approach to improve the efficiency and success of drug development that has been embraced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is particularly important for early phase trials as they form the basis for the development and success of subsequent phase II and III trials. The objective of this book is to describe the state-of-the-art model-assisted designs to facilitate and accelerate the use of novel adaptive designs for early phase clinical trials. Model-assisted designs possess avant-garde features where superiority meets simplicity. Model-assisted designs enjoy exceptional performance comparable to more complicated model-based adaptive designs yet their decision rules often can be pre-tabulated and included in the protocol—making implementation as simple as conventional algorithm-based designs. An example is the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design the first dose-finding design to receive the fit-for-purpose designation from the FDA. This designation underscores the regulatory agency's support of the use of the novel adaptive design to improve drug development. Features Represents the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of model-assisted designs for various types of dose-finding and optimization clinical trials Describes the up-to-date theory and practice for model-assisted designs Presents many practical challenges issues and solutions arising from early-phase clinical trials Illustrates with many real trial applications Offers numerous tips and guidance on designing dose finding and optimization trials Provides step-by-step illustrations of using software to design trials Develops a companion website (www. trialdesign. org) to provide freely available easy-to-use software to assist learning and implementing model-assisted designs Written by internationally recognized research leaders who pioneered model-assisted designs from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center this book shows how model-assisted designs can greatly improve the efficiency and simplify the design conduct and optimization of early-phase dose-finding trials. It should therefore be a very useful practical reference for biostatisticians clinicians working in clinical trials and drug regulatory professionals as well as graduate students of biostatistics.

Intellectual Disability and Being Human A Care Ethics Model

Intellectual Disability and Being Human A Care Ethics Model

Intellectual disability is often overlooked within mainstream disability studies and theories developed about disability and physical impairment may not always be appropriate when thinking about intellectual (or learning) disability. This pioneering book in considering intellectually disabled people's lives sets out a care ethics model of disability that outlines the emotional caring sphere where love and care are psycho-socially questioned the practical caring sphere where day-to-day care is carried out and the socio-political caring sphere where social intolerance and aversion to difficult differences are addressed. It does so by discussing issue-based everyday life such as family relationships media representations and education in an evocative and creative manner. This book draws from an understanding of how intellectual disability is represented in all forms of media a feminist ethics of care and capabilities as well as other theories to provide a critique and alternative to the social model of disability as well as illuminate care-less spaces that inhabit all the caring spheres. The first two chapters of the book provide an overview of intellectual disability the debates surrounding disability and outline the model. Having begun to develop an innovative theoretical framework for understanding intellectual disability and being human the book then moves onto empirical and narrative driven issue-based chapters. The following chapters build on the emergent framework and discuss the application of particular theories in three different substantive areas: education mothering and sexual politics. The concluding remarks draw together the common themes across the applied chapters and link them to the overarching theoretical framework. An important read for all those studying and researching intellectual or learning disability this book will be an essential resource in sociology philosophy criminology (law) social work education and nursing in particular. | Intellectual Disability and Being Human A Care Ethics Model

Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

This ground-breaking book advances the fundamental debate about the nature of addiction. As well as presenting the case for seeing addiction as a brain disease it brings together all the most cogent and penetrating critiques of the brain disease model of addiction (BDMA) and the main grounds for being skeptical of BDMA claims. The idea that addiction is a brain disease dominates thinking and practice worldwide. However the editors of this book argue that our understanding of addiction is undergoing a revolutionary change from being considered a brain disease to a disorder of voluntary behavior. The resolution of this controversy will determine the future of scientific progress in understanding addiction together with necessary advances in treatment prevention and societal responses to addictive disorders. This volume brings together the various strands of the contemporary debate about whether or not addiction is best regarded as a brain disease. Contributors offer arguments for and against and reasons for uncertainty; they also propose novel alternatives to both brain disease and moral models of addiction. In addition to reprints of classic articles from the addiction research literature each section contains original chapters written by authorities on their chosen topic. The editors have assembled a stellar cast of chapter authors from a wide range of disciplines – neuroscience philosophy psychiatry psychology cognitive science sociology and law – including some of the most brilliant and influential voices in the field of addiction studies today. The result is a landmark volume in the study of addiction which will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers in addiction as well as professionals such as medical practitioners psychiatrists psychologists of all varieties and social workers. | Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

The Comprehensive Resource Model Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma

The Comprehensive Resource Model Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma

Traditional methods employed in psychotherapy have limited effectiveness when it comes to healing the psychological effects of trauma in particular complex trauma. While a client may seem to make significant breakthroughs in understanding their feelings and experiences on a rational level by talking with a therapist this will make no difference to their post-traumatic symptoms if the midbrain is unable to modulate its activity in response. The Comprehensive Resource Model argues for a novel therapeutic approach which uniquely bridges neuroscience and spirituality through a combination of somatic therapy traditional psychotherapy and indigenous healing concepts to provide effective relief to survivors of trauma. The Comprehensive Resource Model was developed in response to the need for a streamlined integrative therapeutic model; one which engages a scaffolding of neurobiological resources in many brain structures simultaneously in order for clients to be fully embodied and conscious in the present moment while processing their traumatic material. All three phases of trauma therapy: resourcing processing and integration are done simultaneously. Demonstrating a nested model and employing brain and body-based physiological safety as the foundation of healing chapters describe three primary categories of targeted processing: implicit and explicit survival terror ‘Little T Truths’ and ‘Big T Truths’ all of which contribute to thorough healing of complex trauma and an expansion into higher states of consciousness and embodiment of the essential core self. This book describes the development and benefits of this pioneering new approach to trauma therapy. As such it will be of key interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of psychiatry psychotherapy psychology and trauma studies. It will also appeal to practising therapists psychiatrists psychologists psychiatric nurses and to others involved in the treatment or management of patients with complex trauma disorders. | The Comprehensive Resource Model Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma
