THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES THE EXTENT THAT DETERMINISM PLAYS ON THE REHABILITATIVE PROCESS.
Abstract
THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF REHABILITATION SHOULD NOT BE SIMPLY TO FORESTALL OR PREVENT PARTICULAR ACTS, BUT TO BRING ABOUT A DISPOSITION ON THE PART OF THE PERSON BEING REHABILITATED TO PATIENTLY IDENTIFY ALL REVELANT ELEMENTS OF EVIDENCE AND THEN MAKE NOTE OF THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT EXIST BETWEEN EACH ELEMENT OF EVIDENCE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO SUGGEST THE MOST LOGICAL AND CONSEQUENTLY APPROPRIATE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR FUTURE BEHAVIOR. THIS FORM OF CONSCIOUS SELF-CONTROL IS A PRODUCT OF AN INTELLECTUAL CHARACTER, AN INTELLECTUAL CHARACTER WHICH TEENAGERS AS WELL AS ADULT OFFENDERS ARE INHERENTLY CAPABLE OF ACQUIRING.(AUTHOR ABSTRACT)....BDS
