Spotlight: Understanding the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: A Study on Offenders (Saxena, et al, 2024)

(2024):"CBT has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in decreasing reoffending rates in both youths and adults, aiding criminals in acquiring abilities to successfully re-enter society.

Nevertheless, inmates are frequently required to participate, causing doubts about their willingness to engage voluntarily."
