Assignment part 1:
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Treatment Outcome Models document, provided in the introduction area of this week’s discussion, and think about how each model relates to the treatment of forensic populations.
Review Chapter 21, “Aftercare and Recidivism Prevention,” in the course text Handbook of Forensic Mental Health with Victims and Offenders: Assessment, Treatment, and Research. Focus on the effective use of treatment outcome models when treating forensic populations.
Review the article “Guilt and Shame as Predictors of Recidivism: A Longitudinal Study with Young Prisoners” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on using the recidivism model in the treatment of forensic populations.
Review the article “A Study of Methadone Maintenance for Male Prisoners: 3-Month Postrelease Outcomes” in this week’s Learning Resources. Note the distinctions among the three treatment outcome models in the treatment of forensic populations.
Review the article “Adult Sex Offenders on Community Supervision: A Review of Recent Assessment Strategies and Treatment” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the distinctions among the three treatment outcome models in the treatment of forensic populations.
Review the article “Moderate Adolescent Drug Use and the Development of Substance Use Self-Regulation” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the nature of treatment outcome models used with juveniles.
Select one of the three treatment outcome models that is of particular interest to you for use with this Discussion.
Conduct an academic search in the Walden Library and select at least one scholarly article from a peer-reviewed journal that uses the treatment outcome model (recidivism, relapse, or harm-reduction) you selected.
Reflect on the results of the study in terms of the outcome model you selected.
Consider how the results of the study might be different if one of the other two treatment outcome models had been used. Think about how the outcomes might change.
Post by Day 5 a brief summary of the research article you selected, including an identification of the treatment outcome model used in the study. Then explain how the study might have been affected and how the outcomes might have changed if one of the other treatment outcome models had been used.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Assignment Part 2- Use the same articles listed above.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the course document, Treatment Outcome Models (found in this week’s Learning Resources).
Review Chapter 21, “Aftercare and Recidivism Prevention,” in the course text Handbook of Forensic Mental Health with Victims and Offenders: Assessment, Treatment, and Research. Pay attention to the effective uses of treatment outcome models with forensic populations.
Review the article “Guilt and Shame as Predictors of Recidivism: A Longitudinal Study with Young Prisoners” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on using the recidivism treatment outcome model with the treatment of forensic populations.
Review the article “A Study of Methadone Maintenance for Male Prisoners: 3-Month Postrelease Outcomes” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how the choice of treatment outcome models impacts the effectiveness of treatments used with forensic populations
Review the article “Adult Sex Offenders on Community Supervision: A Review of Recent Assessment Strategies and Treatment” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the distinctions among the three treatment outcome models used in the treatment of forensic population
Focus on the similarities and differences among the three treatment outcome models in terms of relevance in defining treatment success and/or failure with specific forensic populations, challenges in application, and advantages of using each model.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
Briefly describe each of the three treatment outcome models: recidivism, relapse, and harm-reduction.
Compare (similarities and differences) the three treatment outcome models in terms of relevance in defining treatment success and/or failure with specific forensic populations, challenges in application, and advantages of each model.
Explain at least one conclusion you drew or insight you gained as a result of your comparison.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course.
