Abstract: 

As more research literature emerges on the mental health treatment of offenders, it is apparent that empirical approaches need to synthesize strategies and interventions from the fields of biology, psychology, and sociology. Many clinicians are aware of current research that guides treatment services to use cognitive- behavioral and social learning theories and methods. This psychosocial approach, coupled with an understanding of biological bases of human behavior, symbolizes the essential components of the biopsychosocial treatment strategy. In this article, Henry Cellini advocates for the use of this biopsychosocial model in addressing antisocial and conduct disordered offenders.
