Sex Offender Treatment: A Case Study Approach to Issues and Interventions offers practitioners and students a unique opportunity to view how offenders and offender issues are dealt with, by studying individual interventions undertaken by distinguished authorities in the field. Chapters outline the case formulations of experts, their assessment processes, treatment and supervision undertaken with specific sexual offender types, as well as offering guidance to the reader as to how they might effectively deal with similar cases in their own professional work. Covering a broad range of sex offender populations and treatment issues, the book focuses on one-to-one engagement that can often be combined with a programme of group work. It allows practitioners to formulate intervention approaches for the majority of key sex offender types, and address the range of treatment challenges that are likely to be commonly encountered in practice. The case study approach provides a helpful vehicle for developing stronger links between research and practice, an issue previously overlooked in the field of sex offender assessment and treatment, and allows practitioners to benefit from the 'hard won' knowledge of significant figures in the field.
