Treatment is delivered by a transdisciplinary team, which combines five years of individual therapy with a range of group interventions (focused on resolving childhood histories of trauma and attachment deficit, improving affect regulation, challenging cognitions and schema, and reducing antisocial behavior while increasing connection to others and prosocial behavior). The overall aims of the program are to improve the health and wellbeing of prisoners while also reducing their risk of violent and sexually violent recidivism.
