Summary

Drawing upon her experience at the Challenge Project (London), one of the UK's most established projects for assessment and treatment of child sex abusers living in/returning to the community, Craissati focuses primarily on a cognitive-behavioral model which should be of interest to practitioners beyond a British context. Appends a summary of four case studies, and rating scales of the Multiphasic Sex Inventory (Nichols & Molinder, 1984).
