This edition includes appropriate additions and changes in treatment techniques, progress reports on case study subjects, reader feedback on the first edition, and new information on religious personnel who molest children. The book is divided into two primary sections: identifying sex offenders and treatment of sex offenders. Each section begins with adult sex offender factors, traits, and treatments; cases at the end of section discuss the child/adolescent sex offender in relation to and comparison with what had just been discussed. Based on changes in sex offender personalities and their character, additions and changes to some of the treatment techniques have been made and are integrated where applicable in the book. Each individual aspect of the makeup and treatment of the compulsive adult sex offender, as well as the adolescent sex offender, whether in a residential setting or in private practice, is explored. The book discusses the many treatment techniques and their inception, the principles behind the techniques, their evolution as the population changed, and their successes and/or failures.
