Interventions with individuals exonerated from criminal convictions: Toward development of evidence-based practices in a psychology training clinic.

Abstract

Individuals who are exonerated following criminal conviction and prison incarnation face numerous challenges in returning to the community. Some of these challenges may be addressed through therapy provided by mental health professionals. In this article, we describe such needs, and the associated interventions that have been developed, through the treatment of exonerated individuals provided by the Psychological Services Center in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Drexel University. This model, including both the nature and the delivery of relevant services, may provide guidance for clinicians in the delivery of relevant behavioral health services to exonerated individuals.
