Dear colleagues,
This paper reviews the literature on
therapeutic process specific to sexual offender treatment. The general clinical
literature emphasises the importance of therapist style, the client’s
perceptions, the therapeutic alliance and cohesiveness. We highlight the
importance of therapist characteristics, group cohesion and emotion in
effective treatment of sexual offenders. Implications for programming and
research are emphasised.
