Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an acceptance-based insight-oriented treatment approach for US incarcerated adults Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed through attendance and retention throughout the intervention period Primary outcomes include negative affect psychological flexibility emotion regulation purpose in life impulsivity and trauma Changes will be assessed from baseline to post-course post-course to 6-month follow up and baseline to 6-month follow up for all primary outcomes Researchers hypothesize that 1 retention rates will be similar to previous trials with 70 retention from pre- to post-course 2 there will be significant baseline-to-post-course reductions in psychological symptoms impulsivity and trauma and an increase in psychological flexibility purpose in life and emotion regulation and 3 there will be significant baseline-to-6-month reductions in psychological symptoms impulsivity and trauma and an increase in psychological flexibility purpose in life and emotion regulation
Detailed Description:
Prevailing correctional counseling methods eg cognitive-behavior therapy social learning often operate from an outside-in paradigm attempting to put mental health into people in prison using various strategies and techniques Three Principles Correctional Counseling 3PCC informed by theosophy of Sydney Banks with a subsequent intervention based on Bankss work is grounded in a different paradigm-in which all individuals including incarcerated have innate positive mental health however their belief systems convince them otherwise When incarcerated individuals learn to navigate daily challenges with mental clarity affective states shift from negative to positive allowing for state-dependent positive recall leading to lower likelihood of responding to negative thoughts and feelings with deviant and other health-damaging behavior
Studies suggest 3PCC leads to improvements in negative affect such as depression anxiety and rumination and increases in positive outcomes including mindfulness mental health social well-being emotional regulation and non-attachment in non-correctional samples reductions in stress and anxiety for HIV-positive patients improvements in substance use problems criminal justice involvement employment housing and psychological wellbeing for women in in-patient substance abuse treatment improved resilience in high-risk children and adolescents improved mental health and resilience in young trauma-exposed sex offenders improvements in thought recognition mindfulness and psychological well-being in a correctional sample and improved in mental well-being purpose in life anxiety and anger and behavior in a UK prison 3PCC has also shown feasibility and acceptability in refugee women with trauma and demonstrated feasible retention rates of 76 in an English prison setting
The current trial is designed to further assess efficacy of 3PCC in incarcerated individuals 3PCC classes will be facilitated by practitioners with several years of experience working with diverse client populations Each 3PCC class will meet weekly for 10 consecutive weeks with each session approximately 3 hours long Classes will include the following modules Building Rapport Exploration of Reality Separate Realities Exploration of Thought and Insight Consciousness-Where Does it Come From Exploring FeelingsMoodsBehavior Exploring Innate HealthNatural Intelligence What is Mind Exploring Infinite Potential Exploring Mental Clarity Versus a Busy Mind Stepping into the Unknown Implications of the Principles for Life in Prison and Living Outside of Prison
Hypothesis 1 Compared with the control group participants in the 3PCC condition will demonstrate significant increases in psychological flexibility quality of life clear mind emotional regulation impulse control and purpose in life at post-course which will be maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-up
Hypothesis 2 Compared with the control group participants exposed to 3PCC will show significant decreases in depression anxiety anger and trauma symptoms at post-course which will be maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-up
Hypothesis 3 Compared with the control group participants exposed to 3PCC will show greater improvement in behavior within the prison community at post-course which will be maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-up Behavior will be measured by prison records measuring participants behavioral violations and rewards for prosocial behavior
