Book Description

Publication Date: January 1996

Correctional case management has evolved from a more traditional counseling and rehabilitation model to a contemporary process that requires correctional helping professionals do much more with a lot less. Not only has the amount of work increased for today's correctional case managers, but the variety of tasks and responsibilities has dramatically increased as well. Their tasks include assessment, referral, intervention, evaluation and, on occasion, advocacy roles. As correctional case management approaches have become broader and more eclectic, the counselor/case manager has found himself or herself in the position of often being identified as a helping professional "for all seasons." Corrections is essentially a context in which mental health, resource management, and problem-solving skills merge into a dynamic continuum - one that requires the case manager to recognize and utilize interdisciplinary insights and strategies. The family, social institutions such as schools and churches, and community and institutional criminal justice environments all contribute to the context within which the correctional case manager moves and works. Richard Enos and Stephen Southern have written an excellent text that incorporates a comprehensive treatment of case management issues in corrections within a personal and reflective writing style. This combination of content and style offers the reader a look at the current state of correctional case management from an open-minded and inclusive perspective.
