The program's major principles include: (1) sexual abuse is unacceptable, (2) intervention should not destroy the family, (3) sexual abuse is a family problem, and (4) effective intervention requires a meshing of the judicial and therapeutic systems. Treatment aims at preventing further sexual misconduct, assisting fathers in accepting responsibility for their misconduct, and enabling fathers to assume expected roles as spouse and parent. Groups meet weekly, co-led by a male and female therapist. Sessions are strictly confidential except in cases involving court-ordered treatment or a specific request by members for release of information. The program has been well accepted by the courts and probation service. Attendance at sessions has been perfect, and fathers have achieved some therapeutic progress. 3 notes.
