Models of Sexual Offender Treatment

Chapter

Abstract

Treatment of sexual offenders has followed multiple models of intervention that have been developed, modified, and refined over the years. The predominant current treatment approach, supported by research, follows a cognitive-behavioral orientation. Treatment within this model explicitly targets risk and other factors associated with sexual offending and focuses on altering behavior, cognition, and affect with the aim of reducing risk of re-offending. Two new models of treatment that have been proposed since 1998 are the self-regulation model and good lives models, which incorporate both risk-reduction methods and a focus on assisting offenders in achieving a positive lifestyle that is incongruent with offending. This chapter discusses cognitive-behavioral treatment, with a focus on these developments and their application to the treatment of sexual offenders.
