Core Curriculum
"Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment: Strategies For Self-Improvement and Change, Pathways to Responsible Living"
By Kenneth W. Wanberg & Harvey B. Milkman
The curriculum focuses on teaching residents three skill sets:
- Cognitive and Mental Self-Control Skills
- Social and Relationship Skills
- Community Responsibility Skills
Through the cognitive-behavioral approach, residents learn how their thoughts lead to feelings and actions. Changes in behavior begin with changing the underlying attitudes, values, and beliefs that influence thoughts.
