We’ve looked in considerable detail at much of what is useful to know about sex offender treatment: some of its history, current practices, the most effective methods, some particular techniques, how long offenders should be in treatment, and the style with which treatment is most effectively delivered.
To sum up briefly, the four domains of sex offender–specific treatment are:
- Deviant sexual interest, arousals, and preferences;
- Distorted attitudes;
- Interpersonal functioning; and
- Behavior management.
We hope this overview equips you to interact more effectively with sex offender treatment providers in the various collaborative roles that we all play in managing this challenging population.
