This book approaches the treatment process from a new and yet old perspective. Eleven men who successfully desisted from substance abuse and offending were interviewed to determine how their significant therapeutic relationships facilitated this life change. Data is integrated with a new psychodynamic framework, relational analytic theory, which focuses clinical attention on the qualities and processes of the therapeutic relationship. A therapy model is developed which addresses how to attain and maintain therapeutic engagement, treat client symptoms, and utilize therapeutic conflict to develop client capacity for internal conflict and personal agency, functions critical to resolving addictive behavior. Societal and cultural obstacles to treatment are addressed including group stigmatisation, a lack of funding, and our current manual and group-based treatment protocols.

Violent crime is a serious public health issue and desistance is the least understood aspect of criminal behavior (Loeber, et al., 2007). Discovering factors that aid offenders to refrain from it is vital to developing interventions that reduce reoffending. This qualitative study’s main focus is adult male respondents’ own sense of their desistance, specifically the nature and mechanisms of significant relationships and their impact on desistance from violent crime. Eleven men over the age of 25 with a history of violent behavior who were residing in the community for at least five years after an incarceration were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. The sample was obtained by partnering with agencies providing services to ex-offenders using snowball and convenience methods. Data were analyzed using classical content analysis and open coding based on a constructivist paradigm. Respondents found significant relationships important to their desistance process. Findings indicate that respondents’ desistance was comprised of an identity change process that produces prosocial behavior. Respondents described affective and cognitive themes related to identity change and themes related to behavioral change that occurred in response to relational experiences and events that facilitated their desistance. Over half of the respondent group experienced desistance in two phases: primary desistance, in which violent behavior stopped but substance abuse-related crime continued, and secondary desistance, in which an identity shift from criminal to prosocial community member occurred and all criminal activity ceased. Findings have implications for social work practice, social work education, and criminal justice policy. Relationally-based treatment interventions which support desistance should be emphasized in social work practice and education. Restorative Justice is an example of a successful criminal justice system program that emphasizes the mending of relationships after a crime has occurred. This study’s finding support the literature about the importance of significant relationships in the desistance process. It adds to the research base by detailing the mechanisms that facilitate this change. Further research is recommended.

A selection of the dazzling work of one of the finest writers of her generation and winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a poet of elegant restraint, emotional depth, and moral vision Beginning with several dozen new poems that have appeared in The New Yorker, among other publications, this volume is a tour through Zarin’s five exquisitely made collections, beginning with The Swordfish Tooth, published in 1989. Zarin, a poet in the line of Elizabeth Bishop, allows the reader to experience human truths through a poem's shape and music, bodied forth through intimate images—the turn in the stair, a snow globe, naked birch branches, a vase of flowers—and a propulsive syntax. From the clarity of childhood memory to the maze of marriage and divorce, from her own consciousness—shaping landscapes of New York, Cape Cod, and Rome, to the shifting tides of history and the troubled conscience of a nation, her subject matter encompasses all of a woman's life, with passion—its risks, satisfactions, and shattering immediacy—her first and truest subject.
