Trauma Sequelae in the Forensic Female Population: Working with Numbing Behaviors

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Women in the forensic system have extensive trauma histories that present as harmful behaviors, both during confinement and post-release. Incarcerated women who have experienced sexual and intimate partner violence engage in a variety of numbing behaviors, including substance use, child neglect, self-injurious behavior, and sexual acting-out. This session will review the limitations of in-house trauma work, and help counselors tailor strategies to mitigate numbing with forensic populations
