Welcome to the Criminal Thinking Therapy Resource Site.  This website has been developed and expanded to assist professionals who are using the 'Criminal Thinking' and 'Cognitive Behavioral' therapy approaches to change in their work with others.

Samuel Yochelson and Stanton Samenow are the originators of the 'Criminal Thinking' approach to change.  Dr. Samenow continues to publish materials and speak at national events.  We hope this site is an excellent resource for you in your work with the offender population.

Let us know if you would like to share your stories or materials based on this exciting approach to cognitive change.  We will post them here for all to see!

Sincerely,

Brian Loebig

The criminal thinking approach to change was first introduced by Stanton Samenow and Yochelson through their work in the three volumes of "The Criminal Personality."
