Title: Sex Offender: Theoretical Advances, Treating Special Populations and Legal Developments: Volume III
Editor(s): Barbara K. Schwartz
Date Published: 1999
Annotation: This third volume in a series on sex offender treatment and community supervision in the United States and Canada presents 33 chapters focusing on new theoretical advances, administrative issues, the treatment of special populations, varying opinions about denial, and legal issues.
Abstract: Chapters on new theoretical advances focus on social reconciliation theory, sex offender character pathology and relapse prevention, the roots of deviant sexual fantasies in negative mood states, sex offenders' lack of empathy for victims, the role of guilt or shame in sexual assault, and an alternative relapse prevention model. Chapters on administration examine legislative advocacy and dealing with the media, involuntary commitment, dynamic predictors of sex offense recidivism, issues related to total quality management, hostage taking in correctional settings, the alliance between the therapist and the probation officer, polygraph testing, and the measurement of behavior change. Additional chapters focus on the incidence and implications of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in juvenile sex offenders, the inclusion of the family in the treatment of juvenile sex offenders, treatment techniques for adolescents, the treatment of sex offenders with developmental disabilities, and treatment techniques and the measurement of treatment effectiveness in adult sex offenders. Further chapters focus on issues in the assessment of sex offenders' cognitive distortions, cognitive distortions in sex offenders with intellectual deficits, the politics of denial, the reasons courts are reluctant to believe and respond to allegations of incest, the civil commitment of sexually violent predators, laws about sex offender registration, constitutional challenges to laws about sexually violent predators, and proposals for change in managing sex offenders in the criminal justice system. Table, chapter notes and reference lists, index, and approximately 800 references
