The Therapeutic Community: Research and Practice

The Therapeutic Community: Research and Practice brings together the diverse lens of these communities, illuminating and challenging current practice models and research. The book seeks to demonstrate the working collaboration between research-based and practice-based research, as well as filling the gaps for professions in behavioral health, neurobiology, corrections and workforce development. Each chapter explores how both environment and modality work together to change the quality of an individual’s life. The reader is provided with a foundation and introduction to the language of ‘Democratic’ and ‘Concept-based’ TCs.

This book presents case studies, protocols, fidelity measures and emerging research to help readers incorporate applications into their own practice.
