Yochelson, S., & Samenow, S. (1976, 1977, 1986). The Criminal Personality (Vol. I, II, III). NY: J. Aronson.
Volume I: A Profile For Change -- The authors present a detailed description of criminal thinking and action patterns and convincingly argue that these patterns cannot be understood by sociologic or psychologic explanations alone. They stress that the thinking patterns in the criminal must be altered in the change process.
Volume II: The Change Process -- This book describes an intensive therapeutic approach designed to completely change the criminal's way of thinking. The authors reject traditional treatment approaches as reinforcing the criminal's sense of being a victim of society. Rather, Yochelson and Samenow stress that the offender must make a choice to give up criminal thinking and learn morality.
Volume III: The Drug User -- Volume III extends their findings and procedures to drug-using criminals.
