Treating the Sexual Offender
Enhanced public awareness of sexual abuse and an increase in the number of reported sexual abuse cases has put pressure on practitioners to develop effective treatments for offenders. The behavioural approach to treating offenders is flourishing, but clinicians sometimes lack sufficient knowledge of assessment techniques and of the wide variety of available treatment modalities. This volume fills these gaps in knowledge by describing a multitude of techniques for treating sexual offenders in either an outpatient or inpatient setting., Focusing on the correct assessment techniques and behavioural approach to maladaptive sexual abuse disorders, this book covers such topics as aversive respondent conditioning and reconditioning. The author offers a discussion of future directions in behavioural treatment., This text presents a wide range of treatment modalities and techniques for use in either an outpatient or inpatient setting. It is particularly concerned with proper assessment techniques and fills the gaps in the behavioural approach to maladaptive sexual abuse disorders. Topics covered include initial assessment, aversive respondent conditioning, reconditioning, positive respondent conditioning, operant conditioning and adjunctive techniques. Each is described in sufficient detail so that the practitioner will be able to employ any specific technique in his or her own practice. Maletsky concludes with a discussion of future directions in behavioural treatment.
