Description

Why sex offenders offend; assessment - how and what for?; the cycle of offending; educational issues and attitudes; cognitive distortions and denial; sexual arousal and fantasy; victim empathy; self-esteem; relationships, intimacy and partners; alcohol and substance abuse; victimization; mental state; risk assessment; drawing together - the move towards relapse prevention; programme evaluation and monitoring.

[It contains] many pearls of wisdom from years of practice. I have already begun recommending it to colleagues. The layout of the book ensures that it can fulfil its purpose of being a practice guide extremely effectively, it provides a wealth of material, supportive advice and resources... Our task in this, at times, daunting area of work becomes substantially more achievable.
