Theories of Sexual Offending
- Blurb -
This comprehensive text provides an up-to-date review and critiqueof current theorising about sexual offending. It presents the keyideas underpinning each theory in a clear and accessible manner. Theories are rigorously tested and evaluated, and their merits areexamined from both a research and a clinical point of view. Importantly, the emphasis is on providing clear links betweentheory and practice, and the clinical implications of the differenttheories and perspectives are explicitly discussed. In addition, anumber of new ideas about the aetiology of sexual offending arepresented. Theories of Sexual Offending is one of the fewbooks to draw all of the disparate strands of theorising together,and is the only one to clearly link theory to practice. It will bea valuable resource for any professional working with sexualoffenders, such as clinical and forensic psychologists,psychiatrists, probation officers and social workers. It will alsobe of interest to students of forensic and clinical psychology.- Author Bio -
