Description

This timely book focuses on social work practice with sexual offenders in community mental health settings. Practicing professionals and academicians present both theoretical and empirical material covering three major classifications--the incest offender, the violent offender, and the social decency offender. Because today's sexual offenders are often turned away from psychiatric hospitals and instead served in open community centers, professionals in mental health centers and related human service agencies must be prepared to treat them. In this remarkably candid and instructive volume, experts equip psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other professionals in mental health settings with valid, up-to-date techniques for working with sexually aggressive children, mentally retarded sex offenders, and incest families.
