After 3 years, the major result of treatment was that no other sex offenses were committed. All the men remained outside of institutional confinement subsequent to beginning treatment. Collateral, positive benefits of treatment also included successes in culturally normative relationship formation, improvements in adaptive skills, movement to less restrictive living environments, and successful treatment of other diagnoses. Treatment elements consisted of individual therapy and individual education in sexuality, culturally appropriate social skills, and assertiveness; group therapy that combined education and therapy; coordination therapy and educational services with family or day care providers; and consultation with day program/vocational training agency staff. All the educational and therapeutic tools used were easily available from commercial sources. Personal and societal forces that result in sexual misbehavior are discussed. 29 references and 1 table
