Abstract
A 32-hour training program (consisting of 32 modules) explaining an integrated cognitive behavior change program for offenders is presented. Participants will be able to: describe the theoretical foundations of cognitive behavioral approaches; articulate the core principle and components of the "Thinking for a Change" (T4C) program; utilizing the T4C program, demonstrate a cognitive self-change lesson, a social skill lesson, and a problem solving lesson; and plan for the implementation of the program within their agency. Key skills and content for each program component will be learned while observing an expert demonstration of key lessons. These lesson plans are to be used in conjunction with NCJ 231160 and 231164.
