Highly Structured Treatment Programs for Addicted Offenders: Comparing the Effects of the Reasoning & Rehabilitation Program and DBT-F

“…Our results were unexpected as we hypothesized that both interventions would be more effective than TAU and that R&R participants would improve more compared to the DBT-F group.

These studies have typically demonstrated improvements in an individual's impulsivity, self-control, awareness of the consequences of actions, problem solving, and perspective taking (McGuire, Broomfield, Robinson, & Rowson, 1995;Porporino, Fabiano, & Robinson, 1991;Robinson et al, 1991;Wettermann, Schläfke, & Fegert, 2012). However, improved recidivism has not always corresponded to changes in these measures.…”
