About The Book:
Gain important new insights into religious personnel who molest children!
Treating Sex Offenders: A Guide to Clinical Practice with Adults, Clerics, Children, and
Adolescents, Second Edition updates the groundbreaking original with new material that
integrates adolescent and adult sex offenders, emphasizing similarities and differences in
personality type, behavior, and treatment. Author William Prendergast draws on four
decades' experience in working in the diagnosis and treatment of habitual sex offenders to
present a straightforward look at what makes them tick. This vital new edition includes
appropriate additions and changes to treatment techniques, progress reports on case study
subjects, reader feedback on the original book, and perhaps most important, new
information on religious personnel who molest children.
Treating Sex Offenders provides training in clear language for those working with sexual
offenders and explanations in simple terms for those suffering as a result of their
actions. The book parallels workshops and courses conducted by the author, detailing how
to identify major characteristics and traits of offenders, different types of offenders,
child and adolescent offenders, how to recognize warning signs of deviant behavior, and
how to apply specific treatment techniques that really work. Individual aspects of the
makeup and treatment of the compulsive adult and adolescent sex offender are addressed
through factors, traits, treatment, and candid cases studies.
Treating Sex Offenders addresses the most vital issues involving sexual pathology,
including:
inadequate personality theory
sexual performance problems
imprinting
self-confrontation
sex as the chosen deviation
the five c's of sex offender treatment
and much more!
Treating Sex Offenders: A Guide to Clinical Practice with Adults, Clerics, Children, and
Adolescents, Second Edition is an essential resource for psychiatrists, psychologists,
social workers, counselors, and those in the criminal justice field who deal with sex
offenders on a daily basis. Family members involved in the lives of sex offenders and
survivors of sexual abuse or assault will find the case studies enlightening in making
sense of a tragic situation.
