Empowering Female Inmates. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 144
This research specifically examines a therapeutic
community for women within a Pennsylvania prison to
better understand if the women were indeed learning
positive coping skills that would replace their
prior negative coping skill of substance abuse. A
combination of quantitative and qualitative methods
were used to examine the differences between women
in the therapeutic community and women who were on
the waiting list for treatment. Data from this
study suggests that women involved in the
therapeutic community were able to improve their
problem solving and seeking social support skills,
while many still struggled with avoidance
techniques.
