“…For example, therapeutic communities are frequently used among offenders with substance abuse problems; these communities emphasize the importance of peer support in treatment (see Martin et al 1999, Taxman and Bouffard 2002, Sullivan et al 2007, Pankow and Knight 2012.

The present study explored the benefits of having a friend (i.e., an inmate who helped make another inmate a better person) in prison for males and females. Additional qualitative and quantitative analyses explored gender differences in terms of the frequency with which male and female inmates reported having violent physical encounters in prison, gender differences in inmates' reasons for fighting physically, and gender differences between inmates who reported having a close friend and their likelihood of engaging in prison violence. Incarcerated men and women provided similar descriptions of quality friendship; however, men fought more frequently and for different reasons than women did.

It has been proven to be effective in reducing the relapse rate (Barnett, 2009;Hides et al, 2010;McHugh, Hearon, & Otto, 2010).…”

Although cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective in the treatment of patients with drug use disorders, it is difficult to implement for inexperienced interventionists, especially in China. This article describes a structured problem-oriented strategy based onCBT in a group format, which aims to make the implementation of CBT more convenient in practice and to improve the enthusiasm of the participation of patients. The treatment uses an integrated approach by discussing topics oriented by structured problems, teaching important knowledge and training skills, playing psychological games, and so on.
