“…While most SOST groups utilize cognitive behavioral principles, there are many published articles that offer alternative approaches and techniques, which may or may not be congruent with traditional CBT. These include Adlerian (Johnson & Lokey, 2007; Newbauer & Blanks, 2001), behavioral (Jennings & Deming, 2013), humanistic (Bauman & Kopp, 2006), psychoanalytic (Ganzarain & Buchele, 1990; Romero & Williams, 1983), psychodynamic (Lothstein, 2001), psychodrama (Schwartz & Bergman, 1997), Rational Emotive Therapy (Ellis, 1961; Whitford & Parr, 1995), marathon groups (Brancale et al, 1972; Frey, 1987; Schwartz & Cellini, 1988), multifamily group (Griffin, Williams, Hawkes, & Vizard, 1997; Nahum & Brewer, 2004; Walker, 2000), self-help (Schwartz & Cellini, 1988), role-play (Clark & Liddle, 2012; Daniels, 2005; Hudson, 2005), use of videotaped sessions (Anderson, 1969; Brancale et al, 1972; Marcus, 1971; Schwartz & Cellini, 1988), and female sex offender groups (Barnett, Corder, & Jehu, 1990; Lindquist, 2001).…”

“…Despite their presumption that sex offenders would only participate for ulterior motives and would conceal their true thoughts, they concluded that group process provided a more accurate assessment than could be achieved through individual evaluations. Marcus (1971) and Anderson (1969) also replayed videotapes of group sessions to confront denial and create a cathartic emotional “crisis” to motivate change.…”

Review of the Empirical and Clinical Support for Group Therapy Specific to Sexual Abusers

Sex Abuse

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review compiles 48 empirical studies and 55 clinical/practice articles specific to group therapy with sex offenders. Historically, group therapy has always been the predominant modality in sex offender-specific treatment. In the first decades of the field, treatment applied a psychoanalytic methodology that, although not empirically supported, fully appreciated the primary therapeutic importance of the group modality. Conversely, since the early 1980s, treatment has applied a cognitive behavioral method, but the field has largely neglected the therapeutic value of interpersonal group dynamics. The past decade has seen a growing re-appreciation of general therapeutic processes and more holistic approaches in sex offender treatment, and there is an emerging body of empirical research which, although often indirectly concerned with group, has yielded three definitive conclusions. First, the therapeutic qualities of the group therapist-specifically warmth, empathy, encouragement, and guidance-can strongly affect outcomes. Second, the quality of group cohesion can profoundly affect the effectiveness of treatment. Third, confrontational approaches in group therapy are ineffective, if not counter-therapeutic, and overwhelmingly rated as not helpful by sex offenders themselves. Additional conclusions are less strongly supported, but include compelling evidence that sex offenders generally prefer group therapy over individual therapy, that group therapy appears equally effective to individual therapy, and that mixing or separating groups by offense type is not important to therapeutic climate. Other group techniques and approaches specific to sexual abuse treatment are also summarized.

“…Previously, the rapist's definition was considered as part of a self-protective denial mechanism, but there is a possibility that rapists are indeed extreme respondents on an attitudinal continuum towards sex (rigid and conservative) and women (negative and conservative). Misogyny has been noted to characterize rapitsts' attitudes (Cohen et al, 1969;Cohen & Boucher, 1972;Karpman, 1954;McCaldron, 1967;Nadelson, 1977; and some treatment programs have been designed so that these views could be changed (see Anderson, 1969;Pacht et al, 1962;Polak, 1971;Abel, in press). Klemmack and Klemmack (1976) found that most rapists in their study held inconsistent normative definitions of women's sexuality.…”

“…These authors suggested reeducation for rapists to remove misconceptions about women. Anderson (1969) and Pacht (1976) described their attempts in this agea as successful, and Gager and Schurr (1976) reviewed similar rehabilitation approaches that they considered successful as well.…”

The current reformulation of the Canadian legal definition of rape proposes that rape is an act of assault (i.e., motivated by aggression). Psychological literature has, until recently, considered rape a sex act and has assumed that the motivation of rapists is sexual in nature. This paper reviews the rape literature in terms of such "motivations," and an overview shows that the attribution of motives has resulted in unnecessary confusion and contradictions. Studies based on non-motivational premises (i.e., attitude studies) are also included, and these studies seem to avoid the confusion by classifying rapists according to their responses rather than their motivations.

Pedophilia: An update on theory and practice

et al. 1985

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The number of sexual attacks on children is staggering, yet it is extremely difficult to understand what effective treatments are available for the pedophile by reviewing the literature. Therefore, the authors present an update of the changing conceptualizations regarding the offenders and their victims. An overview of the currently used modalities to treat the pedophile is presented with emphasis on the promising cognitive-behavioral approach. A brief description of this approach is given with two case illustrations.
