This study examined the effectiveness of short-term cognitive- behavioral therapy with probationary and incarcerated offenders. University males served as controls. Weekly sessions of two hours were provided over a six-week period. Results showed significant changes on a Buss-Durkee guilt scale for probationary offenders and significant changes in verbal hostility and resentment for incarcerated offenders. Several personality variables were found to be significant predictors of treatment effectiveness within the incarcerated group.
