REBT with Diverse Client Problems and Populations

Abstract

For the purpose of this chapter, we are defining a forensic population as comprising individuals who are being managed or restricted by the criminal justice system. Usually, this means that they are people who have committed offences and are being treated within prison or, in some cases, secure hospitals. The broader definition of forensic as pertaining to the court or relating to scientific methodology to solve crime is not adopted here. As we are focussing on the application of a psychological therapy we are not concerning ourselves with investigative psychology or forensic science in the broader realm.
