Whether to deal with their clients' personal victimization is a current issue being debated by professionals who treat sex offenders. The holistic nature of the offender as a person with issues in the physiological, cognitive-behavioral, affective, interpersonal, familial, societal, and spiritual domains is receiving increasing acceptance. Drama therapy is a particularly effective method for confronting these issues. Abreaction and catharsis of the trauma are widely accepted methods of reconnecting the traumatic memories with the original emotions. It is important to conduct this work in a setting in which the participants will have plenty of support and in which participants understand in general what they will be experiencing. This therapy also requires trained professionals with formal training and supervised experience. 52 references
