AB This paper describes and assesses the psychological treatment applied at the Brians prison (Barcelona, Spain) to sex offenders. In order to assess the treatment effectiveness, two equivalent groups (treatment and control) are selected. The treatment group is formed of 49 subjects that had received the whole treatment program, and the control group of 74 subjects that hadn’t received treatment. These groups are been selected taking into account different risk factors in order to guarantee the comparability between the groups. The results show that this cognitive-behavioural program has a great rehabilitative potency with sex offenders. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of the program is mediated by some static risk factors (as the subject’s age, the duration of their criminal career, the number or previous committed crimes, etc.). Finally, it is discussed that, apart from personal factors that can be changed by the application of treatment, other social factors can facilitate or difficult the rehabilitation of sexual offenders.
