Comment by Ciara Wild on April 4, 2012 at 14:41: Hi everyone, I wondered if I could ask for help from some of the members of this group. I am writing a piece of training for trainee counsellors and pscyhotherapists looking to take on a placement in a forensic setting. I would like if possible to get people's personal experience on what therapy is like in the prison service, what the role of the therapist is and their responsibilities and if anyone knows of any research looking into the effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapy in these settings and with offenders. Can anyone offer any advice?
