About this title

From the Publisher

"Understanding, Assessing, and Rehabilitating Juvenile Sexual Offenders by Phil Rich is by far one of the best books on the market addressing this highly specialized group of youth. The author addresses the spectrum of issues related to etiology, developmental issues, and origins of sexually abusive behavior, to the complexities of doing a comprehensive assessment on clients. The book also thoroughly addresses the treatment needs of these clients using "best practice." This book belongs on the shelf of all professionals and others who come in contact or work with adolescents with sexual behavior problems. The book is brilliant"

"A balanced, thoughtful, well-documented and conceived text. Dr. Rich has spent many years as a practioner. Clearly, he has grasped the increasing complexity of managing and treating a diverse population engaged in sexually abusive behaviors. This book is a highly useful overview text that is ideal for the new professional wanting to understa nd this specialized field but belongs in the library of advanced practitioners as well."

New England Adolescent Research Institute, Inc. This book represents a landmark in our understanding of sexual behavior problems in children: Dr. Rich has integrated theories of child development and sexual aggression into a cohesive whole. From assessment to treatment, he offers clear explanations of theory followed by specific suggestions for practice. Understanding, Assessing, and Rehabilitation Juvenile Sexual Offenders is worth owning for the breadth and depth of the reference list alone, but there is so much more to it than that. Anyone who needs to understand this complex problem—administrators, clinicians, corrections professionals, and policy-makers alike—should own this book. --Craig Latham, Ph.D.
