Reviews
Virginia Barber-Rioja and colleagues have taken their combined decades of jail-based clinical experience and created an approachable yet comprehensive text addressing all aspects of jail mental health assessment and treatment. With its distinct focus on jails, as opposed to prisons, this is a must-have resource for anyone involved or interested in jail-based clinical work." * Patricia A. Zapf, PhD, Palo Alto University; Clinical Forensic Psychologist, Fellow of the American Psychological Association *
The opening sentence in this book asserts, 'Few places are more chaotic than jail.' With an impressively broad reach, this volume brings substance and order to our scattered knowledge about mental health assessment and treatment in the nation's jails. Important chapters discuss research and practice considerations in suicide and violence risks, PTSD and trauma-informed care, race and ethnicity considerations, and the harassment of transgender and LGBT+ prisoners. Goodness gracious, we have sorely needed a book like this. This handbook is the go-to resource for practitioners and scholars alike in understanding and approaching the psychological problems of jail residents." * Stanley L. Brodsky, PhD, Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, Tuscaloosa, Alabama *
