Re: Inmate Manipulation

I am a cognitive behavioral program specialist working for the Michigan Department of Corrections. The best way I know of to diminish manipulation by offenders is to learn about criminal thinking. There is a book called "Inside the Criminal Mind", by Stanton Samenow that gives an outstanding perspective on the subject. It has a basis in an earlier book called " The Criminal Personality Vol I", by Yochelson & Samenow. There are sections in the latter book about, "The Criminal's Way of Life", "Thinking Errors Characteristic of the Criminal" & "Tactics Obstructing Effective Transactions". These ideas are the basis for criminal manipulation. I perform training about criminal thinking and cognitive behavioral programs. I have other resources as well. You can feel free to contact me if this subject is interesting to you at: abefre@thinkingmatters.us You can find more information at: www.thinkingmatters.us Abe French
