Re;Working with & 111aos; crimnals &111aos

T Cummings; I thankyou for your response to my question, although my own view of Adler is that his theory is behaviorist in nature, I was seeing too much relating the Adler theory to Humanistic theory. I am a student of psychology, doing my research in criminal behavior. So far the only real progresses in treating and rehabilitating criminal behavior has been based along Adler's premises that thinking needs be corrected before any progress can be made. Even in that, there is no guarrentee that the treatment will be sucessful.Many alcohol and substance abuse units are now using a simular approach to getting the client to see the errors in their thinking and to make reasonable choices to clarify their thought processes.

I don't wish to take up a lot of space here, but any off forum responses would be appreciated. E-mail me at "mechanix@matnet.com" Tim Chapman
