Your responses should be based in what you have read. Please include citations throughout, as well as references in APA format. Your response is worth 20 points and should be thorough.

1) Consider the paragraph at the beginning of page 40; specifically the sentence beginning with “Indeed”. According to the text, women were viewed as childlike creatures. How might the treating of women like children affect the women’s success post-release? Is this approach really “rescue and reform”? 

2) Consider what you’ve read in the article. How does the current system use similar social controls to encourage the reformation of female offenders? 

3) Why might the social controls mentioned in the article be ineffective in the reformation of male offenders? 

Topic: Differences in Theories

From the New Directions in Family Therapy section of the Reading & Study material from this module/week, select 2 of the following models addressed: Solution-Focused Therapy, Collaborative Therapy, or Narrative Therapy. Discuss at least 2 differences between the two therapies with some detail. Note that postmodernism is a way of thinking about therapies and systems, not a formal therapy. Similarly, many feel that the collaborative approach and team approach used by social constructionists are techniques used in family therapy.

When you develop your reply, select the model that was not discussed in your fellow group member’s thread and bring this approach into play. How does it differ and how it is similar to the therapies discussed? You may want to use outside sources for this reply post.

Your thread must be at least 500 words. In addition to the thread, you will prepare a reply of at least 400 words to 1 classmate’s thread.

Your thread is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, and your reply is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday.
