Full Description
Over the past 40 years, William L. Marshall and colleagues have developed and refined a motivational, strength-based approach emphasizing warmth, empathy, and support for the sexual offenders.
This book presents the evolution and distinctive features of Marshall's positive approach to treating offenders. The first five chapters review research and theory on sexual offender treatment, including assessment, procedural factors, personal and interpersonal factors (such as therapist features, therapeutic alliance, and group climate), problems with common cognitive behavioral approaches, and evaluation of treatment programs. The last three chapters describe three treatment programs developed by Marshall and colleagues for the Canadian prison system.
