\n(2000 words)<\/span><\/p>\n

Discuss practice and research in counselling and forensic
\npsychology and employ appropriate evidence to construct an argument and draw
\nconclusions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Write this essay based either on topics such as \u2018Prevention\u2019
\nor \u2018Contexts\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question invites you to critically discuss it using
\nevidence for any claims you make. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to draw on additional material beyond that
\ncontained within the module website and textbook; Mad or Bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

This must consist of at least two articles found through a
\ncitation search you conducted in Week 25 Activity 3.2. <\/span><\/p>\n

You will not be able to include at least two additional articles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The essay should be dedicated to building a reasoned argument
\nregarding the research, theories and practice (including ethical
\nconsiderations) supported by appropriate, referenced evidence in a way that
\nanswers the question you select. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although you may decide to draw a conclusion on one side of
\nthe question or the other, it is important to consider the relative merits and
\nlimitations of the opposite point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n

In
\nplanning your essay, it might be helpful to work out what stance you will be
\ntaking, for example, measures aimed at prevention of mental health issues
\nand\/or offending don\u2019t work, or deciding how you think therapeutic communities
\ncompare with other psychological approaches. In discussing the relevant
\nevidence and material, try to build an argument that will support this stance.
\nPlease note that there is no correct answer to either of the questions. You
\nwill not be marked on which approaches you come out in support of, but instead
\non how you build and support your argument.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter
\n19<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 19 \u2018Contexts\u2019
\n(pages 283\u2013296 in Mad or Bad: A Critical Approach to Counselling and
\nForensic Psychology<\/i>) focuses on the issue of offering psychotherapy in the
\nprison system, so the whole chapter is relevant. The chapter looks at tensions
\nbetween psychotherapy approaches and security in prison, as well as
\nrehabilitation models (RNR model and Good Lives model). This is good background
\nto consider different psychological approaches to the therapeutic community
\nmodel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Week
\n24<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 24 focuses on HMP
\nGrendon, a therapeutic community prison. This material is very relevant both in
\nterms of understanding the therapeutic community model and providing an
\nopportunity to reflect on and evaluate this model. The material includes
\ninformation on the model, interviews with relevant participants, and some
\nevaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
