“…Despite female gender being associated with sensory room use, female adolescents did not report greater distress reduction compared with male adolescents. This is in contrast with previous research that found that women benefitted more than men from some therapies that use sensory approaches (Gussak, ; Korlin & Wrangsjo, ). Similarly, although adolescents with anxiety disorders used the room more than adolescents without anxiety disorders, having an anxiety disorder was not associated with greater distress reduction.…”

Sensory rooms could provide occupational therapists with a valuable tool for reducing distress for adolescents in psychiatric units, especially for those with a history of aggression. Results suggested that female adolescents or adolescents with anxiety disorders may be particularly receptive to using the sensory room. This research provides evidence that can inform occupational therapists when tailoring therapeutic treatment strategies and guide the development of prevention and management of emotional dysregulation and aggression within adolescent psychiatric settings.

“…Time since arrest may predict severity of trauma symptoms such that scores on measures of psychological adjustment (e.g., anxiety) may decrease from the first to the second week of incarceration (Islam-Zwart & Vik, 2004). Still, the finding that coping motives mediated fully the relationship between trauma symptoms and problematic substance use consequences is important and highlights the opportunity for intervention during women's incarceration (e.g., Gussak, 2009).…”

Rates of substance use and maltreatment are alarmingly high among incarcerated women. Although the direct link between trauma and substance use has been established, less is known about potential mediators. Thus, we examined substance use coping as a mediator between trauma symptoms and substance use consequences among a sample of incarcerated females (N = 111) who were survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Trauma symptoms predicted the severity of substance use consequences, with this relationship being mediated fully by avoidance coping (e.g., using substances to cope). Overall, trauma histories are important in predicting outcomes but must be examined in the context of current coping behaviors and substance use. Findings (data collected in 2007/2008) may help promote interventions that target patterns of coping and/or emotional avoidance among trauma survivors with substance use problems in incarcerated populations. The study's limitations are noted.

“…Meta-analytical studies (Khodayarifard & ShokoohiYekta, 2010) have revealed that cognitive-behavioural intervention methods have good impact on inmates. These studies demonstrated that there were apparent improvement in mood, behaviour, and problem-solving, an increase in independence, a decrease in depressive symptoms, and also appropriate identity within the group dynamic (Gussak, 2004;2007;2009 in Ismail, Abd. Manaf & Jaafar, 2016).…”

“…An abundant of studies had been carried out to examine the benefits of art therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy with prison inmates in many countries (Kendall, 1993;Gussak, 2004;2007;2009, Clark, 2010; Kobayashi, Matsumoto, Imamura, Wada, Ozaki, Takeuchi, Hasegawa, Imamura, Tania & Adachi, 2011; Akpama, 2013). Meta-analytical studies (Khodayarifard & ShokoohiYekta, 2010) have revealed that cognitive-behavioural intervention methods have good impact on inmates.…”

Implementation of group therapy in Malaysian prison through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach is deemed important to improve the psychological well-being of the inmates. Numerous studies had been conducted but most of them provide statistical data based on cross-sectional studies but findings on effect of psychological treatment is still very scarce. This preliminary study aimed to examine the impacts of group therapy on psychological well-being of women prisoners, particularly in Malaysia. Sixteen women inmates from Women Prison in Selangor, Malaysia were chosen and assigned by the prison authority to receive eight group therapy sessions. The respondents in this study were of different race/ethnic groups, different faiths, socio-economical and criminal backgrounds, aged between 27 to 56 years old. Selfreport measures DASS21 was utilized to examine their psychological well-being before and after eight sessions of group therapy in a duration of four months. This study employed a pre-and post-test design study without a control group. Statistical analyses used were descriptive statistics and paired-samples t-test. The results of this study revealed that there were significant differences in psychological variables as indicated by significant decrease level of depression and stress. Although not significant, their level of anxiety has also reduced. The findings of this study the self-belief and psychological well-being of the inmates. The findings could be used to add knowledge and to better understand the inmates and the rehabilitation methods that work for them. It also give some insights if group therapy can be considered as one of the programs that can support the rehabilitation process of the inmates
