The use of cognitive analytic therapy with women in secure settings
Abstract
In this chapter, we briefly outline the evidence for differential needs and the risks posed by and to women in forensic settings, and provide an illustrative case example of using Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) with women in prison. We highlight the need to take account of the cultural and social context of women's lives before their entry into, as well as throughout their contact with, services. In conclusion, we argue for a flexible application of CAT as a therapy model and its tools when working with women in secure settings. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
