ALARCON ESPINOZA, Marina  e  VARGAS MUNOZ, Marina. Psychoeducational Skills Assessment from a Specialized Training Program for Professionals of Direct Intervention with Young Offenders and Non-Offenders. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.4, pp.1115-1123. ISSN 1657-9267.

The assessment of psychoeducational skills is crucial in the design of specialized training to enhance the involvement of those working with offenders. Through a pre and post quasi-experimental design, we evaluated the impact of a process of training in psycho-educational skills of professionals and technicians. Using the Psychoeducational Competency Test, found that these skills improve after a specialized training process, especially in the technical group and preferably in the planning capacity in both groups. Results are discussed regarding the distinctions that should be considered in an appropriate training program for each target group.
