Thinking for a Change (T4C) - Is an integrated approach to changing offender behavior, developed by Barry Glick, Jack Bush, and Juliana Taymans in cooperation with the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) that uses a combination of approaches to increase an offender’s awareness of themselves and others. It integrates cognitive restructuring, social skills, and problem solving. The program begins by teaching offenders an introspective process for examining their ways of thinking and their feelings, beliefs, and attitudes. The process is reinforced throughout the program. Social-skills training is provided as an alternative to antisocial behaviors. The program culminates by integrating the skills offenders have learned into steps for problem solving. Problem solving becomes the central approach offenders learn that enables them to work through difficult situations without engaging in criminal behavior.
Family Issues - Introduction of treatment modality for families that covers boundaries, intimacy, belonging/coping, familiar feeling, relationships, anger, dealing with feelings, communication styles, and the role of the family. Social skills practiced are: expressing feelings, understanding the feelings of others, giving feedback, receiving feedback, expressing affection, dealing with fear, and negotiation.

This program focuses primarily on two components of the program- criminality and substance abuse. A cognitive intervention for substance abuse offenders covers practicing the principles (applying the steps to their life); release preparation (getting out/staying out); survival skills (what does it take to make it); obtaining a sponsor and home group; 12-steps; and big book.
