Treatment of sexual abusers is commonly practiced in group settings, but all too often is conducted like "individual therapy with an audience." The authors of this book aim to change this paradigm by helping clinicians increase their effectiveness in treatment using the unique power of group relationships and group cohesion to achieve therapeutic growth for individual group members.
The book is filled with sound, practical guidelines for facilitating groups in the powerful mode of “group-centered” group therapy, enriched by dozens of case examples based on the authors’ many years of practice.
