About this title

Synopsis

Using the information, exercises, and activities in the Socialization facilitator's guide, you will help offenders reassess how they treat themselves and others, including: * understanding the dynamics of healthy relationships * managing anger in a positive manner * appreciating the consequences of their actions * identifying and practicing personal values The facilitator's guide contains the entire client workbook with sidebar notes, suggestions, and supplemental information for facilitators. The materials use phrases and describe situations that are familiar to criminals and addicts, and quotes from offenders underscore key concepts. Excerpt from Part 3, "How Do I Change? Empathy is the ability to understand what someone else is experiencing. It's not a feeling, it's a skill that can be learned and strengthened. People learn empathy from the inside out. That means we need to pay attention to what is going on with us before we can understand what's going on with someone else. Alcohol and other drugs kept us blind to our own experiences and distorted our experiences. Maybe you said things like "they'll get over it" when you thought about your victims. Maybe you said that so you would not have to put yourself in their shoes. Empathy is about doing just that: putting yourself in their shoes, on purpose. Based on the real-life experiences of incarcerated addicts involved in substance abuse treatment, A New Direction provides you with a powerful cognitive-behavioral treatment program to help chemically dependent offenders: - see how their thought processes can keep them stuck in destructive behaviors - understand the connection between addiction and criminal activity - develop new, healthier ways of relating to others - keep their recovery strong
