Participant offenses included drugs, burglary, aggressive offenses and murder; most were 19-25 years old, serving 2 1/2-5-year sentences. The program emphasized family related self-concept, using experiential and discussion strategies. Topics covered included family antecedents of self-perception, self-assessment and acceptance, behavioral demonstration of self worth, and current family interactions and effects. Results indicated a significant increase in the participants' family-based self-esteem scores from pre- to posttest, while no change occurred in peer or work-oriented self-concept. (Author abstract)
