Answer to Question 1

Psychotherapy is a long-term treatment where inmates will examine their individual problems with a therapist. The goal of psychotherapy is to lead inmates to insight. Transactional analysis usually goes on for several months. The offender will examine individual problems in a group context and will learn a new approach to interpersonal relationships. The goal of transactional analysis is to lead inmates to insight. Reality therapy is done in a short period of time. The offender will learn to cope with reality, model responsible behavior, and determine right from wrong. The goal of reality therapy is to help inmates obtain basic needs.

Answer to Question 2

There are a variety of treatment methods used in prisons. One form of treatment used is insight-based therapy. Insight-based therapy typically involves treatment designed to encourage communication of conflicts and insight into problems, with the goal being relief of symptoms, changes in behavior, and personality growth. Another type of therapy is behavior therapy. Behavior therapy uses positive and negative reinforcement to encourage desirable and extinguish undesirable behaviors. The goal of cognitive therapy is to identify cognitive deficits linked to criminality and impulsivity. Cognitive therapy is associated with reductions in recidivism.
