Description
This book offers a fresh perspective on treating a population that is often demonized by policymakers, the public, and even clinicians. Leading experts D. Richard Laws and Tony Ward argue that most sex offenders are "people like us," with the potential to lead meaningful, law-abiding lives - if given a chance and appropriate support. They present an empirically and theoretically grounded rehabilitation approach, the Good Lives Model, which can be integrated with the assessment and intervention approaches that clinicians already use. -- from dust jacket.
