This paper attempts to show that traditional methods of gathering information are inadequate with regard to the adolescent sex offender.
Abstract
A new approach to learning about this type of individual is described which relies on self-disclosure in a group therapy context. Case illustrations are provided which suggest that group therapy generates information which is dramatically different from what is usually obtained by means of the individual interview, police report, or victim survey. Eight references are supplied. (Author abstract modified)
