Child Sexual Abusers: A Community Treatment Approach

by Jackie Craissati

Overview

Uniquely, this book aims to provide students and practitioners with a knowledge base in relation to child sexual abusers which is focused on practice - assessment, treatment and evaluation - but rooted in psychological theory. Its strength lies in the simplification and outlining of a coherent approach to this group of offenders that is afforded by the single-author treatment, particularly so given that this author has developed and managed a sex offender project in South East London which is now one of the largest, longest running, and most thoroughly evaluated in the country.

Editorial Reviews

Drawing upon her experience at the Challenge Project (London), one of the UK's most established projects for assessment and treatment of child sex abusers living in/returning to the community, Craissati focuses primarily on a cognitive-behavioral model which should be of interest to practitioners beyond a British context. Appends a summary of four case studies, and rating scales of the Multiphasic Sex Inventory (Nichols & Molinder, 1984). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
