Instructions

Submit a draft of the literature review (Section I) for your final project, including all critical elements listed in the Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric. In the literature review, you will summarize forensic psychological treatment literature in the last five years for each of the target populations (non-violent offenders, violent offenders, and trauma victims). An article that addresses all target populations would be ideal, but it may be difficult to find. Focus on the major treatment areas for the target populations and how the treatments address the needs. There is a lot to cover in these topics, so finding articles that cover one or two populations or areas will allow for a more comprehensive approach.

This draft should be as detailed as possible in order to allow the instructor to provide significant feedback.

Domestic violence batterer programs began as a way to keep batterers out of prison and get them the treatment that they needed to potentially stay with their victims. Victims often want help for their perpetrators and do not want them to go to prison. During the early 1980s, domestic violence batterer programs assisted batterers through psychoeducation. These early programs were often court-ordered for the men and women involved in the case.

Programs like the Duluth Model helped male batterers and taught them to understand their patterns of control and abuse. “The cycle of violence” concept came out of the Duluth Model. The purpose of models such as the Duluth Model was to get men to see the abusive patterns in their behaviors and get them to change those patterns (Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs, 2011). More recent models have begun to recognize that women may be the batterers in relationships. “The Power and Control Wheel” is probably the most well-known aspect of these types of batterer treatment (see Figure 3.1 below). It is well known and frequently used and has many different variations today.

Figure 3.1: Power and Control Wheel (Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs, 2011)

Other programs for batterers include a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach to treatment. These programs focus on distorted thoughts that may lead to the battering behaviors, and they work to fix those thoughts and teach skills to change the behaviors. This approach often includes anger management.

Another type of batterer programming combines psychoeducation and CBT. This approach also looks at the individual’s needs to ensure he or she is getting the best treatment possible. The focus is usually on the history of batterers, as they tend to have a history of being abused as children or witnessing violence in their homes. Couples therapy is also growing in the field, but it is controversial and will be discussed in the next module.

Historically, men were thought to be the batterers, and the research continues to demonstrate that they are the primary batterers. It was often the case that when the police were called in a domestic dispute, the man would be the only one arrested even if he exhibited signs of being battered. Now, it is common for the man and woman to be arrested, or sometimes just the woman. In recent years, more attention is being spent on female batterers and their treatment. There are now specific programs for females who batter; however, they usually focus more on women as victims rather than batterers. Batterer intervention programs are still fairly new and expanding. Programs like the Duluth Model have been around for quite a while, but there are always improvements to be made. In Module Four, we will look at treatment for victims of domestic violence and discuss couples therapy. Treatment within the LQBTQQ population will also be addressed in the next module.

PSY 624 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an evaluation report of treatment programs for violent and non-violent offenders and victims.
Forensic psychologists are often called upon to provide expert testimony in the court system in determining the mental states of witnesses, victims, or the
accused. They also suggest appropriate treatment for victims and offenders. This role requires appropriately addressing the psychological issues surrounding
victimology and correctional psychology. While victimology emphasizes the identification and empirically based treatment of trauma-related victims, such as
survivors of child, domestic, or sexual abuse, correctional psychology focuses on identifying and treating violent (e.g., those with assault or other violent crime
charges) and non-violent offenders (e.g., those with substance abuse charges), including offenders that may also have been victims of trauma. In addition to
accurately assessing and meeting the needs of victims and offenders, the forensic psychologist’s suggestions must also take into consideration legal
requirements, including Supreme Court and lower court decisions, and ethical constraints specific to the court system.
In the final project for this course, you will be asked to evaluate treatment programs that address the needs of victims and offenders within the legal system for
their efficacy, legal admissibility, and feasibility, as well as their compliance with ethical guidelines and federal laws. Finally, you will include an aftercare plan for
each target population.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final submission will occur in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
?
?
?
?
Evaluate evidence-based treatment programs for offenders and trauma-related victims for their efficacy, admissibility, and feasibility
Evaluate treatment strategies for offenders and trauma-related victims for their compliance with the ethical guidelines of a professional psychology
organization
Assess the impact of U.S. Supreme Court cases and federal laws in promoting the psychological well-being of offenders and trauma-related victims within
the legal system
Create appropriate aftercare plans for offenders and trauma-related victims based on critical examination of services provided by state, local, federal, and
professional agencies
Prompt
The final project for this course is the evaluation of treatment programs addressing three different populations: non-violent offenders (e.g., drug-related
charges), violent offenders (e.g., assault), and trauma victims (, victims of abuse, assault, rape, etc.) for the purpose of informing family or criminal court
decisions (e.g., family reunification, jail diversion) for each of the target populations. In this project, you will summarize forensic psychology treatment literature
from the last five years for each of the populations. Based on your literature review, you will evaluate treatment programs for their efficacy, legal admissibility,
and feasibility, as well as their compliance with ethical guidelines and federal laws. Finally, you will include an aftercare plan for each target population.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I.
II.
Literature Review: Summarize forensic psychological treatment literature from the last five years for each of the target populations. What are the most
common psychological concerns among each population? Are these concerns specific to populations within the legal system, or do they share common
concerns with other populations? Which treatments have been particularly effective in meeting the needs of each of the target populations? Are there
treatments that have been effective in the general population that might benefit the target populations, but are not admissible or feasible given the
constraints of the legal system?
a) Non-violent offenders [PSY-624-01]
b) Violent offenders [PSY-624-01]
c) Trauma victims [PSY-624-01]
Legal and Ethical Considerations
a) Compare and contrast ethical concerns related to the treatment of each of the target populations. For example, what ethical concerns do
psychologists face in treating each of the target populations within the constraints of the legal system? Are there special considerations in
addressing victims versus those who are incarcerated, or violent versus non-violent offenders? Are there certain ethical principles that apply to
all three populations? Be sure to substantiate your claims with specific examples and guidelines from a professional psychology organization.
[PSY-624-02]
b) Discuss how the specific ethical guidelines of a professional psychology organization may have informed the treatment strategies for each of the
three populations. Be sure to substantiate your claims with specific examples. [PSY-624-02]
c) Compare and contrast federal laws related to the treatment of each of the target populations. How do these laws inform or constrain care
options? Be sure to substantiate your claims with specific examples. [PSY-624-03]
d) Assess the impact of U.S. Supreme Court cases on the development and implementation of treatment programs for each of the target
populations. How do these cases inform or constrain care options? Be sure to substantiate your claims with specific examples.
1. Non-violent offenders [PSY-624-03]
2. Violent offenders [PSY-624-03]
3. Trauma victims [PSY-624-03]
III. Aftercare Plan: Now that you have had a chance to evaluate various treatment plans for their efficacy and feasibility, recommend appropriate aftercare
plans for each of the target populations. In other words, discuss where the subject will be going and what the subject will be doing upon discharge,
release, or completion of care. Be sure to justify your recommendations with specific research.
a) Non-violent offenders [PSY-624-04]
b) Violent offenders [PSY-624-04]
c) Trauma victims [PSY-624-04]
Milestones
Milestone One: Draft of Literature Review
In Module Three, you will submit a draft of the literature review (Section I), including all critical elements as listed above. The literature review will be four to five
pages. In the literature review, you will summarize forensic psychological treatment literature in the last five years for each of the target populations (non-violent
offenders, violent offenders, and trauma victims). An article that addresses all target populations would be ideal, but it may be difficult to find. Focus on the
major treatment areas for the target populations and how the treatments address the needs. There is a lot to cover in these topics, so finding articles that cover
one or two populations or areas will allow for a more comprehensive approach. This draft should be as detailed as possible in order to allow the instructor to
provide significant feedback. Please make sure to use peer-reviewed and academic sources for the literature review. This milestone will be graded with the
Milestone One Rubric.
Milestone Two: Draft of Legal and Ethical Considerations
In Module Five, you will submit a three- to four-page draft of the legal and ethical considerations (Section II), including all critical elements as listed above. . In
this section, you will compare and contrast ethical concerns related to the treatment of each of the target populations. You will utilize information that you have
researched and read for Milestone One. Focus on the critical elements provided above and concisely integrate these elements into your draft. This will
incorporate the Supreme Court and federal laws that you have examined and discussed in the course thus far. This draft should be as detailed as possible in order
to allow the instructor to provide significant feedback that you can use to improve your final submission. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Two
Rubric.
Milestone Three: Draft of Aftercare Plan
In Module Seven, you will submit a three- to four-page draft of the aftercare plan (Section III), including all critical elements as listed above. In this section, you
will use what you have learned throughout the course and recommend an appropriate aftercare plan for each of the target populations. You may conduct and
include research on services in your area that you can recommend for your client. The development of an aftercare plan can often make or break an offender’s
success upon release from prison or a program. Setting up your client with the best possible aftercare program is vital. Knowing the resources, having the
connections, and knowing the procedures for getting an individual involved in programs is important. As with the previous two milestones, research is a vital
component of your everyday job. You must know where to look for the most recent research on a topic, and you must be aware of the laws and/or resources
pertaining to your clients in order to prepare the most effective aftercare plan possible. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Three Rubric.
Final Submission: Evaluation Report
In Module Nine, you will submit the evaluation report of treatment programs for violent and non-violent offenders and victims. It should be a complete, polished
artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final project. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. The final
submission will be graded using the Final Project Rubric.
