Sexual Offender Treatment [PDF ebook] 
Controversial Issues

The knowledge base on sexual offender treatment has become so
extensive that following established paths is no longer the only
way to expand understanding and improve the assessment and
treatment of clients.

Written by established and recognised experts, Sexual Offender
Treatment: Controversial Issues explores only the most current,
novel and controversial issues in the field of sexual offender
treatment

This comprehensive text covers a wide range of issues, such as
recidivism risk assessment, diagnostic problems, preparatory
programs, psychopathy and online sexuality. The contributors to
this book are speculative and provocative, yet base their
controversial approaches on evidentiary findings.

With fresh and alternative perspectives offered in each chapter,
this volume aims to generate discussions and challenge the reader
to reconsider their position on the issues. This innovative
collection will appeal to all those working with sexual offenders
in a range of capacities.
