Description
Summary:Sex Offender Treatment: Accomplishments, Challenges, and Future Directions points the way toward humane, dignified, effective treatment regimes for sexual offenders. In addition to providing an essential overview of the current state of sex offender treatment, this book examines vital areas of service provision and research and points to future directions for the field.On the medical/psychological front, this volume explores the importance of recognizing comorbid psychiatric factors in treatment and of exploring central nervous system function's role as a cause of sexually inappropriate behavior. In the legislative/justice arena it illustrates a "Circles of Support" proposal that mobilizes community resources to aid the adjustment of released offenders rather than branding them as dangerous to the community. And in the area of service provision, this book presents a treatment approach for residential programs that is inspired by research on childhood behavioral problems and special education. - Introduction: Sex Offender Treatment: Accomplishments, Challenges, and Future Directions Advances in Sex Offender Treatment and Challenges for the Future Multisystemic Treatment of Juvenile Sexual Offenders: A Progress Report Collaborative Treatment for Sexual Behavior Problems in an Adolescent Residential Center Circles of Support: A Restorative Justice Initiative Treatment of Pedophilia with Leuprolide Acetate: A Case Study A Comparison Between Exclusively Male Target and Female/Both Sexes Target Child Molesters on Psychometric Variables, DSM-IV Diagnoses and MTC:CM3 Typology Somatic and Mental Symptoms of Male Sex Offenders: A Comparison Among Offenders, Victims, and Their Families Standards of Care for the Treatment of Adult Sex Offenders Index Reference Notes Included
