This is a rehabilitation program based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and aimed at people on probation. The objective is to reduce criminal recidivism.
The program was implemented by two teams: one comprised two independent psychologists who acted as facilitators; the other was in charge of logistics and administrative tasks (room reservation, meals, transportation).
The intervention was carried out in six sessions and lasted four months. The sessions were conducted in groups, with biweekly three-hour meetings, with the following topics:
1) The first session focused on introducing the therapists and explaining the objectives of the program, the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other logistical issues.
2) The second and subsequent four sessions focused on self-esteem/self-perception, self-control/impulsivity, problem identification, problem-solving, values/anti-values, resilience, delayed gratification, and support networks.
