Biography
Michael Siglag, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist with over 35 years of clinical and forensic experience working in psychiatric, forensic, and correctional settings in direct service, leadership, and consulting roles.
“The chapter authors review structured programs for forensic populations, ranging from adults and juveniles who have committed sexual aggression, to substance abusers, to psychotic individuals who have committed violent crimes. I recommend this book for anyone interested in practical, hands-on lessons from experienced practitioners who are on the front lines of treatment for these challenging cases.”
Philip H. Witt, Ph.D., A.B.P.P. (forensic), Somerset Psychological Group, USA
“Innovative Treatment Approaches represents a powerful tool for exploring creative, empirically grounded psychotherapeutic treatments within correctional settings. Timely and cutting edge, Siglag’s edited text deftly informs those working directly or indirectly in such settings. Beyond being a mere white paper for programmatic issues or boilerplate psychotherapy protocols, the contributing authors provide rich theoretical, empirical, and clinical data aimed to assist those clinicians in the trenches of correctional consulting rooms. This collection of scholars address the range of clinical and practical needs of correctional facility patients as well as the needs of those tasked with the challenging yet meaningful need to treat. I contend that Innovative Treatment Approaches is a useful book for anyone working in correctional settings.”
Anthony F. Tasso, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor of Psychology and Deputy Director of the School of Psychology & Counseling, Fairleigh Dickinson University, USA
