Risk Assessment of Youth Who Have Sexually Abused : Theory, Controversy & Emerging Strategies
edited by Davis S. Prescott, LICSW
Professionals working with sexually aggressive youth frequently need to make decisions about these youth. However, there are no empirically validated means by which these professionals can accurately predict who will or won't become abusive in the future. Research shows that, on average, clinicians do poorly at predicting reoffense, and that considering too much information can make our predictions worse. With the emerging research in this field, clinicians have an obligation to consider what is currently happening when making their treatment plan and supervision decisions. This book summarizes what is known and what is not, and offers suggestions for coping with this most unenviable task. Includes recidivism, risk assessment, treatment decisions and structure of reports.    £32.95

It provides theoretical outlines and over one hundred highly structured activities designed for group treatment with children whose behaviour may include acts of rage and violence against other people, shame and attachment issues, animal torture, setting fires, and sexual abuse. New activities addressing all of these behaviours have been added. One therapist called it, "A treasure chest of children's exercises in self-management and competency building."    £22.99

Working With Sexually Abusive Adolescents
edited by Masud S. Hoghughi with Surya R. Bhate & Finlay Graham
"At the time of conceiving this work... it was the only one aimed specifically at the adolescent sexual abuser... we believe ours remains the only one which is concerned with detailed practice from UK and European viewpoints which are legislatively and professionally quite different from those of North America... It is written by people who are daily practitioners with abusers. The orientation of the chapters is, therefore, towards scrutiny of the theoretical material from the standpoint of practical utility."    £19.99
