The treatment of sex offenders with developmental disabilities : a practice workbook

This is a practical treatment manual which will help clinicians to prepare and run therapeutic group sessions as part of an offender rehabilitation programme. Traditional methods and techniques have been modified so that they can be used with offenders with developmental disabilities. The book covers disclosure, dealing with cognitive distortions, the cycle of offending, victim awareness, pathways to offending and non-offending and relapse prevention. New initiatives in offender rehabilitation, such as self-regulation and the Good Lives Model (GLM), are covered along with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
