In recent years society has witnessed more and more reports of
violence and abuse related to sexual aggression. The increase of
sexually aggressive behavior among adolescent offenders is of
particular concern and consideration.
"Sexual Aggression" explores this phenomenon& mdash;from the
recognition of the development of sexual behavior problems in
childhood to the assessment and treatment of both male and female
adolescent and adult sex offenders. The book is divided into two
sections. The first section presents an overview of the problem of
sexual aggression and the psychological consequences of such acts,
covering important topics such as childhood sexual development and
forms of non-normative behavior within the family. The issue of
sexual harassment of children is examined as well as the short-term
and long-term consequences of sexual abuse and victimization.
Cultural and ethnic influences are explored as they relate to the
response to abuse by the child and family.
The second section assesses and evaluates sexually aggressive
behavior and offers treatment options. Both male and female
offenders are described, as are the determinants of adolescent
sexual aggression. The final chapters address the complex
evaluation of child sex offenders and the therapeutic and
pharmacological strategies for treatment.
A thorough yet accessible approach to the phenomenology and
assessment of sexually aggressive behavior, "Sexual Aggression" is
especially relevant to psychiatrists, psychologists, and social
workers who treat sexually aggressive adolescents and adults&
mdash;as well as the victims of sexual aggression.
