Cognitive restructuring
TASK
A while later you receive an
e-mail from one of the other psychologists you met in Las Vegas:
Hope all is well for you. I’ve
been doing great since I left Las Vegas. My boss heard about our presentation
at the Conference, and now he wants me to publish! Can you believe it? At any
rate, I’m not so good at the research portion of what we do, so I am tapping my
resources. Do you have any info about sociological theories that could utilize
cognitive restructuring as a tool for changing criminal thinking and preventing
future crimes? If you could give me a couple of examples, that would be great!
Also, three web links where I can find additional information would really be
helpful. You are a lifesaver!
Sincerely,
Phyllis Martin
Reply to your friend and give her
some examples of sociological theories that could benefit from the use of
cognitive restructuring to reform criminal behavior and provide at least three
web links (other than those in your current material) with which your friend
can use to continue research on her own
