This is the second episode in which Chris and Alison speak with Dr. James Clark, Professor and Dean of the College of Social Work at Florida State University.  You can review his impressive vita on the FSU COSW website here.  Dean Clark is a forensic social worker and you can learn about the role of mitigation (and social workers), in the book he edited with Edward Monahan:  Tell the Client's Story, Mitigation in Criminal and Death Penalty Cases.

These conversations are not appropriate for children.  People with their own traumatic histories should be aware that we discuss violent crimes, exploitation, sexual trauma, child abuse, and incarceration.
