“…En lo que se refiere a los tratamientos, la efectividad es irregular. De hecho, Martinson en 1974, tras un meta-análisis de los programas de intervención con delincuentes (p.e., de supervisión intensiva, psicoterapia, terapia de grupo, entrenamiento vocacional, aproximaciones educativas, intervenciones médi-cas), acuñó la doctrina del nothing works en la rehabilitación del delincuente, en tanto que los tratamientos psicológicos, especialmente los basados en el entrenamiento cognitivoconductual, reducen la tasa de recaídas entre el 10 y el 20%, en función de variables moderadoras como el delito, el contexto en que se aplica el tratamiento (v.gr., en centros cerrados, en libertad) o la población a intervenir (menores, adultos) (Beelman y Lösel, 2006;Redondo et al, 2002;Redondo, Sánchez-Meca y Garrido, 1999). En suma, la intervención psicológica ha mostrado cierta eficiencia, pero no así la basada en modelos basados en la supervisión, modelos terapéuticos (p.e., intervenciones médicas, psicoterapia o terapia de grupos) o educativos (entendiendo por ello el entrenamiento vocacional o la formación escolar, no las intervenciones educativas actuales dirigidas a la potenciación de las habilidades y destrezas relacionadas que protegen de la desviación), que se mostraron carentes de validez.…”

Competencia cognitiva en penados primarios y reincidentes: Implicaciones para la reeducación

Resumen: La probabilidad de reincidencia delictiva es aproximadamente tres veces mayor para los penados reincidentes que para los primarios. En esta línea, se sugiere una relación entre el grado de comportamiento antisocial y delictivo, y el nivel de desarrollo de la competencia cognitiva. Así, se prevé que los penados reincidentes presenten un menor desarrollo de la competencia cognitiva que los primarios. Para comprobar esta hipótesis, 104 penados, 54 primarios y 50 reincidentes, que no habían sido previamente objeto de un tratamiento penitenciario, fueron evaluados en atribución de la responsabilidad, autoconcepto, afrontamiento e inteligencia emocional. Los resultados mostraron que los penados reincidentes tenían menos desarrollado el autoconcepto y la inteligencia emocional que los primarios. Además, se observó una mayor tendencia en los reincidentes a afrontar las situaciones estresantes y de riesgo a través de estrategias no adaptativas (v.gr., centradas en las emociones, evitativas). Sin embargo, primarios y reincidentes se atribuyen por igual la responsabilidad. En suma, los penados reincidentes son menos competentes cognitivamente que los primarios. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la reeducación, resocialización y reinserción social de los penados. Palabras clave: Presos; competencia cognitiva; reincidencia; reeducación. Title:Cognitive competence among recidivist and non-recidivist prisoners: Implications for the rehabilitation. Abstract: The probability of recidivism in delinquency is approximately three times more for the recidivist than for the non-recidivist prisoners. In this sense, it has been suggested a relationship between the degree of antisocial and delinquent behavior, and the development of the cognitive competence. Thus, it presumes that recidivist prisoners have less cognitive competence than non-recidivist. To test this hypothesis, 104 prisoners, 54 non-recidivists and 50 recidivists, which have no previously submitted to an in-prison treatment to empower the cognitive and social competence, were assessed on the attribution of responsibility, self-concept, coping strategies and emotional intelligence. Results showed that recidivist prisoners had less developed the emotional intelligence and the self-concept than nonrecidivist. Moreover, recidivist prisoners, in comparison to non-recidivist, evidenced a greater tendency to cope with stressful and risk situations through non-adaptive strategies (i.e., centered on emotions, avoidance). Nevertheless, recidivist and non-recidivist were similar in the attribution of responsibility. In summary, recidivist prisoners have a less cognitive competence than non-recidivist. The implications of these results for prisoners' reeducation, resocialization and social rehabilitation are discussed. Key words: Prisoner; cognitive competence; recidivism; rehabilitation. IntroducciónLas penas privativas de libertad, esto es, el internamiento en prisión, han de estar orientadas a "la reeducación y reinserción social" (Art. 25.2 de la Const...

“…In den 1990er Jahren wurden vermehrt Untersuchungen zur Wirksamkeit von Straftätertherapien, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Sexualstraftäter, durchgeführt. Die überwiegende Zahl der Metastudien zeigte bei behandelten Straftätern geringere Rückfallraten als bei unbehandelten [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Nur drei Studien konnten keine Behandlungseffekte nachweisen [16][17][18].…”

“…Meta-analyses, in particular, have highlighted the effectiveness of CBT in addressing sexual offending (Lösel & Schumucker, 2005;Walker, McGovern, Poey, & Otis, 2005), as well as generalist offending involving property or violent misdemeanors (Landenberger & Lipsey, 2005;Pearson, Lipton, Cleland, & Yee, 2002;Redondo, Sánchez-Meca, & Garrido, 1999). CBT allows individuals to challenge and restructure thoughts and attitudes associated with their offending, recognize and appropriately respond to the range of triggers associated with their offending, and practice newly developed competencies and skills aimed at promoting a pro-social lifestyle (Milkman & Wanberg, 2007).…”

Despite huge societal costs associated with firesetting, no standardized therapy has been developed to address this hugely damaging behavior. This study reports the evaluation of the first standardized CBT group designed specifically to target deliberate firesetting in male prisoners (the Firesetting Intervention Programme for Prisoners; FIPP). Fifty-four male prisoners who had set a deliberate fire were referred for FIPP treatment by their prison establishment and psychologically assessed at baseline, immediately post treatment, and three-months post treatment. Prisoners who were treatment eligible yet resided at prison establishments not identified for FIPP treatment were recruited as Treatment as Usual controls and tested at equivalent time-points. Results showed that FIPP participants improved on one of three primary outcomes (i.e., problematic fire interest and associations with fire), and made some improvement on secondary outcomes (i.e., attitudes towards violence and antisocial attitudes) post treatment relative to controls. Most notable gains were made on the primary outcome of fire interest and associations with fire and individuals who gained in this area tended to self-report more serious firesetting behavior. FIPP participants maintained all key improvements at three-month follow up. These outcomes suggest that CBT should be targeted at those holding the most serious firesetting history. deaths, and $1.3 billion USD costs in property damage (Campbell, 2014). These latter property costs represent only a small amount of those incurred since they do not include some of the wider costs associated with firesetting (firefighting, or health costs or costs associated with wildfire damage). In the UK, there were 53,000 deliberately set fires and 451 fire- Over the past two decades, a small number of cognitive behavioral treatment packages (CBT) have been developed for use with mentally disordered firesetters (Hall, 1995; Swaffer, Hagget, & Oxley, 2001;Taylor, Thorne, Robertson, & Avery, 2002;Taylor, Robertson, Thorne, Belshaw, & Watson, 2006). However, these represent uncontrolled 'in house' therapy conducted with very small numbers of participants. In the largest study available (N = 14), Taylor et al. (2002) reported that a 40-session package of group CBT aimed primarily at reducing problematic fire interest and attitudes in patients with a learning disability led to significant improvements on standardized measures of fire interest and attitudes, anger, goal attainment (e.g., understanding of risk), and self esteem. In the absence 6 of any control group, however, the beneficial effect of this group therapy remains largely unclear. To our knowledge, no further firesetting treatment evaluation studies have been published. Furthermore, no treatment evaluation studies in prison settings have ever been reported. The current study aimed to provide the first evaluation of a specialist group therapy trial for male firesetters in a UK prison. The therapy evaluated differs from previous 'in house' therapies...
