Abstract

Although prison populations have been shown to be susceptible to all psychiatric disorders, psychiatry in correctional institutions is a very young branch of the discipline; its treatment approach and philosophy are still evolving. The author presents one approach to treating prison inmates that focuses on the different phases inmates go through from the time they are first apprehended to the time they are released from prison.
