Abstract

[Shifting from motivating to equipping, this chapter provides an introductory overview to succeeding chapters in this final section, “Equipping Offenders to Help One Another Think and Act Responsibly.” Optimal meeting length and schedules are suggested for the equipment meetings. These meetings provide a three-component cognitive behavioral curriculum that emphasizes social perspective-taking and corresponds to offenders’ characteristic limitations. Accordingly, offenders are equipped with: skills to manage their anger and correct their thinking errors (Chap. 5), social interaction skills (Chap. 6), and mature moral judgment (Social Decision-Making, Chap. 7). A “nutshell” table summarizes this threefold curriculum, including the review materials in a final session (Chap. 8). The severe offender Timothy McVeigh is used as a case study to illustrate typical offender limitations and the need for thinking error correction as well as social perspective taking.]
