From the Foreword:
“While to some of us the field of treatment aimed at youth who have sexually abused or acted inappropriately in a sexual way feels old, it is really quite a new area of service provision, moving from a crawl to a teetering walk - even as we personally age. Many of us in the field started working with this group of abusers in the mid 1980's. As with any new field, ours struggles with challenges, revisions, zealots and resistance to change - this is especially true in the absence of much hard science or of proof of what is the best method of treatment for these youth. The chapters in this volume take on diverse areas of practice and wide ranging paradigms ranging from an analysis of resistance to experiential therapy to techniques of engagement, legal issues facing adolescents who are sexually abusive, treatment of females that sexually abuse, neurology, family practice and the relevance of victimization of youth who are abusive. This text covers many other areas as well, each important and useful and as a whole reading like a brochure for a very good conference on the treatment of children and adolescents. Contributors are an exciting combination of experienced researchers and authors from around the world, and a few new and talented voices. Nonetheless, themes emerge across the chapters which illuminate the barriers, boundaries and areas for development of practice techniques, assessment and future research in the field. Three of these themes are development, heterogeneity of the populations and advanced techniques for treatment. While unabashedly discussing limits of recent research, the authors contend with the real-world dilemma of the need to deliver treatment and base observations, detailed descriptions of techniques and methods of treatment from a post modern perspective of multiple truths - the authors describe what they see as working while genuinely inviting the reader's feedback and participation in a journey towards the development of best practices for the amelioration of adolescent sexual aggression. How wonderful and refreshing!”
