Paper on the topic of Therapeutic Community in a correctional setting.

The paper should include the following:

1)A biopsychosocial description of the problem or population including recent research findings.

2)A discussion of the social impact of the problem or population (why is this an important problem or why is this population important?)

3)A review of treatment methods with special attention paid to empirical evaluations of treatment outcomes, individualization of the treatment process, ethical issues relevant to the problem or population, and special family issues, including issues of relapse, addiction prevention, and program planning of the problem or population you are discussing.

Criteria for evaluation of papers will include clarity, organization, synthesis of material, and overall mastery of content. A good organization will enhance your grade (hint - subheadings will help you organize material). The introduction section should clearly outline what will be covered in the paper. Summarize your thoughts in the concluding paragraph. The paper must be typed and properly formatted using APA style; the use of proper APA style will be a component of your grade. The paper should be 8-12 pages long. At least 4 primary peer-reviewed sources must be used.
