Punishment and Society features a distinct focus on the societal impact of incarceration, rather than the institutions of prison and jail.

Towards a Global and Cultural Psychotherapy: Theoretical Foundations and Clinical Implications provides readers with an integrated framework to understand and treat the rapidly growing number of culturally diverse clients across the globe.
