THE PRISONER'S FAMILY: A Study of Family Counseling in an Adult Correctional System

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

By NORMAN FENTON

“A man goes to prison. His relationships with wife, children, or parenis are suddenly interrupted. Penological studies have properly been focused upon the prisoner, yet these persons whom he leaves "on the outside" may significantly affect his adjustment to prison life, and eventually, his behavior for good or ill when he is released. This project, conducted in the California state prison system is the first broad endeavor to bring guidance and counseling techniques into play between prisoners and their families.”

Handbook of SOCIAL INTERVENTION

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

edited by EDWARD SEIDMAN

FROM THE PREFACE: “While interest in social and community intervention has expanded dramatically in the last several decades, a number of areas have yet to receive thorough and intensive scrutiny, and as a group, they have not been brought together in a single source. An integration, overview, and critical appraisal of this nature by recognized experts is a felt need for graduate students and professionals in a variety of disciplines, as well as by legislators and social policymakers interested in planning and developing current and future social programs and policies. Meeting these needs is precisely the objective of the Handbook of Social Intervention. The Handbook is addressed to both students and professionals and should serve as a valuable resource volume for courses related to planned social change and policy. These courses come under a wide array of disciplines and professions- anthropology, economics, education, law, political science, psychology, psychiatry, social policy programs and institutes, sociology, social work, and urban planning…”
