  • Title: Providing outpatient services to criminal procedure law patients: the clinician's perspective.
    Author: Epstein HJ.
    Journal: Psychiatr Q; 1993; 64(3):295-302. PubMed ID: 8356183.
    Abstract:
    This presentation identifies a number of the elements involved in implementing an effective program for the care and treatment of the Conditionally Released CPL Patient. The component parts to be explored include: societal and agency issues, the identified patient and, issues relating to the clinician and the clinical treatment team. The outpatient clinician fulfills numerous role/task functions. The roles of therapist, educator, teacher, advocate, casemanager, and "parole officer" will be discussed. Techniques for identifying and working through the worker's own "blocks" will be discussed as a prelude to establishing a therapeutic alliance. Principles of utilizing authority and contracts as basic therapeutic techniques will also be noted. Recognizing that the patients who comprise the conditionally released CPL 330 category are heterogeneous and multiply disabled, techniques for active focused rehabilitation treatment will be explored.
