The Correctional Residential Forms include a comprehensive set of intake and during-treatment data collection instruments for assessing functioning and services in residential settings. Instructions and item wording have been tailored to address issues related to an offender being confined prior to assessment. For technical questions, contact Dr. Kevin Knight at k.knight@tcu.edu.
List of
Correctional: Residential Treatment Forms The TCU Survey of Criminal Justice Program Treatment Needs (PTN) is used to help identify and prioritize treatment issues that programs believe need attention. PTN-D (i.e., directors version) asks for a brief description of the program and staffing, followed by ratings of program training needs and pressures as well as diagnostic and billing procedures. PTN-S (i.e., staff version) asks about facilities and climate, satisfaction with training, preferences for training contents and procedures, computer resources, and barriers to training. (15 minutes) PTN-S Staff Version PTN-D Program Director Version The Initial Assessment is
administered by a counselor within 24 hours of program entry and includes
background and psychosocial information, a brief history of illegal drug
use, and assessments of alcohol, cocaine, opioid, and cannabis abuse based
on DSM-IV criteria. (20 minutes) The Intake is administered by a counselor
in a face-to-face interview held approximately 5 days after the Initial
Assessment, when the probationer has had time to reach greater stabilization
and cognitive focus. It is comprehensive and includes sections on sociodemographic
background, family and peer relations, health and psychological status,
criminal involvement, in-depth drug use history, and an AIDS-risk assessment.
(90 minutes) The Self-Rating at Intake is completed by the probationer immediately following the Initial Assessment.
It includes short scales for psychological adjustment (i.e., self-esteem,
depression, anxiety, and decision-making), social functioning (i.e., childhood
problems, hostility, risk-taking, and social conformity), and motivation
scales (problem recognition, desire for help, treatment readiness) as
well as the Pearlin Mastery Scale. (10 minutes) The Counselor Rating of
Client is completed by the counselor for the purpose of describing
probationer functioning and therapeutic strategies used in the preceding
3 months. (5 minutes) The Evaluation of Self and Treatment (for the previous 3 months) records probationer ratings of the counselor, therapeutic groups, and the program in general. It also contains scales assessing psychological adjustment, social functioning, and motivation.
