ABSTRACT
This chapter specifically deals with specialized treatment techniques for two groups of survivors: survivors with unresolved sexual traumas and survivors with unidentified sexual traumas. It offers some specialized techniques that have found to be both practical and successful for the above two problems. Two specific elements of the sex offender's pathology are: first, his/her need to place blame on the victim and secondly, to use any and all methods possible to prevent the victim from reporting the incidents. The sex offender attempts both to prevent exposure and its consequences and to assuage guilt and responsibility for the molestation by projecting on the victims. Sexually assaultive persons abusing adult males or females often use the time of day, the manner in which the survivor is dressed, the place of the encounter, to convince the survivor that he/she was looking for trouble and that it would be easy to convince the authorities as well as their families of this fact.
