working psychotherapeutically with offenders. It also aims to

To date the organisation has a membership that includes members
of mental health and legal professions from twelve countries around
the world. The organisation holds an annual meeting which gives
opportunities to meet other professionals working in this increasingly
important area to attend and present papers in this area. It publishes
this regular Newsletter and is in the process of establishing
itself on the Internet.
