ABSTRACT
Traditional psychotherapy with sexual offenders has included a wide range of very different approaches. These interventions vary from medical treatments such as anti-androgen medication (see Bradford, 1990) to strict behavioural techniques such as contingency management (see Laws and Marshall, 1990). The choices in treatment approaches have increased significantly over the past decade or two (see Cordess and Cox, 1996; Mobley, 1999). This expansion followed a period of pessimistic “nothing works” (Martinson, 1974) in offender rehabilitation, especially within North America.
