Understanding, Assessing, and Rehabilitating Juvenile Sexual Offenders guides mental health professionals through the breadth of assessment and treatment methods available for working with this special population, providing a succinct yet complete survey of the field and a reliable resource for assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation.

Through exploring fundamental beliefs about juvenile sexual offenders, Phil Rich gives insight into the underlying problems, behaviors, and factors that contribute to sexual offending, while encouraging practitioners to develop new ideas and methods to meet their specific clinical orientations and experiences. Going beyond prevalent interventions, Rich presents treatment methods that marry psychoeducational, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic treatments into a single model, which incorporates individual, group, and family treatment into an approach that treats the whole child, not just the sexual offending behaviors.

Complete with informative examples, Understanding, Assessing, and Rehabilitating Juvenile Sexual Offenders is an essential book for everyone working with this unique group of clients.
