A 70-page workbook used with offenders and resistant clients. The book focuses especially on typical criminal thinking issues such as: Everyone lies, cheats, and steals; No one can be trusted; The rules don’t apply to them; That all relationships are manipulative.

  • Thinking For Good is used with resistant offender populations in groups. The program prepares the most resistant clients for more treatment. Typically this program is used prior to participating in a more long-term program such as MRT.

  • The program is predominantly used in corrections, community corrections, and in probation and parole settings.

  • Participants complete each of the program’s 10 modules before group sessions and share their homework in the group. The program is designed for 10 group sessions. Groups are open-ended in that new clients can enter an ongoing group at any time.
