| Publisher Description: Few of us were around in the 1970's when Martinson published his treatise, often referred to as "Nothing Works." Martinson's treatise spawned a great deal of reactionary research that quickly dispatched the "Nothing Works" treatise. In fact, Martinson's data was reanalyzed and even his data showed that some rehabilitation interventions reduce recidivism. Thanks to the research of Gendreau, Ross, Cullen, Andrews, Logan, Bailey, Palmer and many others, we no longer need to address the question, What Works...to reduce recidivism? We now ask the question, What Works with Whom. In other words, the focus of rehabilitation research is now aimed at developing the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model. For those working with conduct disordered youth in a residential setting, here's what the research says. The research says you must keep youths safe and once you have established a safe environment, you can use evidence based interventions designed to reduce the youths' risk for reoffenses. Keeping youths safe is the primary goal of the Limit & Lead Behavior Management Training Program. The Limit & Lead Program also has a cognitive behavioral component designed to reduce recidivism, Limit & Lead Student Workbook. This manual is the Training for Trainer's Manual. It is used to train individuals to become trainers for the Limit & Lead Behavior Management Training Program. This manual is actually one of three manuals used to implement the Limit & Lead Behavior Management Training Program. The other two behavior management manuals are the Direct Care and Security Staff Trainee's Handout and the Direct Care and Security Staff Trainer's Manual. When all three manuals are used together, it is possible to establish a consistent, measurable, agency-wide behavior management program. Decades of research about programing for conduct disordered youths shows that consistency is key. In order to have an effective behavior management program, all behavior management staff and supervisors must be trained in the same model and be monitored using meaningful criteria. The Limit & Lead Behavior Management Training Program affords all that and much more. All of the Limit & Lead workbooks and manuals have one overarching goal: No More Victims You can review all of the Limit & Lead materials by visiting http: //www.amazon.com.
