"Rand's Sociotherapy for Sociopaths

Resocialization Group brings a valuable sociotherapy approach to

working with adult offenders. He has devised a twenty-four session,

open ended, group treatment curriculum for adult felony offenders

that encourages emotional responsibility and facilitates their

working individually as well as jointly in altering some patterns

of thinking, feeling, and behaving that have had negative

consequences for themselves and others. A national research project

conducted in the year 2000 showed that 83% of the individuals who

have taken part in the 24-session clinical program are relapse free

for the duration of the group, and 90% are arrest free for the

duration of the group. In addition, 76% are both relapse and

rearrest free for six months after completing the

group."<ref>Focus on Practice. Clinical Practice: Treating

"The aim is to rehabilitate offenders through resocialization in

group sessions using 'sociometry' and other 'sociological

counseling' techniques (sociodrama and social goal setting).

Kannenberg's 'sociotherapy for sociopaths' is clearly predicated on

both general sociological concepts of socialization and the

assumptions of 'social learning theory.'"<ref>Journal of

Applied Sociology/Sociological Practice 22, 1/7, 1.

of the importance of clinical and applied sociology for the

of contemporary society."<ref>Focus on Practice. Clinical
