The chapter reproduced here, stipulates that one obstacle correctional institutions need to address is the unending rise of mental illness due to the escalating arrest and incarceration of the mentally ill or the degradation of mental well-being of those inside. Such trauma is brought about, in part, by the overcrowded facilities and the resultant lack of privacy, stress, abuse, inadequate health care, and poor support. In addition, prison inmates are burdened with derogatory labels resulting in poor sympathy from society at large. Poor mental health is the unavoidable consequence. Yet, it is increasingly difficult to provide services in an environment where identified weaknesses and vulnerabilities may be taken advantage of. To succeed, therapists should be armed with tools to overcome the inmates’ distrust, inherent aggression, and potentially damaged cognitive abilities. Art therapy has been effective in addressing the needs of the clients by its ability to bypass these survival-based defences. This article explores these various benefits and provides an overview on why art therapy is clinically advantageous for those inside.","PeriodicalId":111356,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131013989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All human behaviour and functioning, whether sick or healthy, life-threatening or life supporting, antisocial or prosocial, is caused by, or is a product of, the differences in individuals’ life experiences, such as child abuse or other forms of trauma, vs healthy and secure bonding and attachment experiences and their resulting character structure. In addition, other data concerning the causes of differences in the rates of individual as well as collective (e.g. political) violence, that is the epidemiology of violence, can only be understood and explained by referring to social forces and processes. I will examine how forensic psychotherapy is similar to and different from the many related disciplines that also deal with the various problems that arise in human interactions and social relations, such as violence and sexual abuse. Among those disciplines we may include forensic psychiatry; clinical psychiatry, psychology and psychotherapy, including psychoanalysis; public health and preventive psychiatry and the social sciences, as well as moral philosophy and its derivatives and subsidiaries in the quest for justice; namely, law and politics.","PeriodicalId":111356,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126371441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
