A treatment Map for Antisocial Territories

Reviews the book, The Treatment of Antisocial Syndromes by William H. Reid (Ed.) (1981). The experience of the past and the innovations of the present are charted in this comprehensive text outlining treatment methods for various classes of offenders. The book organizes and summarizes an extensive literature, established techniques are reviewed critically; and new ideas are explored with cautious optimism. The overall package is attractively presented. This volume thoroughly reviews a variety of treatment approaches. The breadth of coverage presented in this book is impressive. This attractively bound and printed book is not an instructional text, not a how-to book. The volume is, however, a road map illustrating where current efforts are in the evolutionary continuum and how they interconnect. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
