In work with juvenile sexual offenders, it has become increasingly
common to link disturbed or under-developed early attachment
relationships to the later development of pathology.
Beginning with a detailed and critical overview of attachment
theory, "Attachment and Sexual Offending" provides an analysis of
research that links attachment theory to sexually abusive behavior
in children and adolescents. This complete guide also extensively
covers literature that relates attachment to adult sexual
offending. A comprehensive framework for applying attachment theory
to the treatment of juvenile sexual offenders is also included,
providing steps for developing and implementing attachment
treatment.
This important text will appeal to anyone interested in
attachment theory and its application to clinical and forensic
psychology. It is a valuable resource for professionals working
with sexually abusive juveniles in a range of clinical settings,
and will also be of interest to those working with adult sexual
offenders.
"This is a fascinating and important book"
--Tony Ward, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
""Attachment and Sexual Offending" is a thought provoking book
that challenges the traditional ways in which we have thought
about, assessed and treated juvenile sexual abusers. Phil Rich's
book is brilliant and should be read by any professional who works
with, and/or comes in contact with, juveniles who sexually
abuse."
--Robert E. Longo, Independent Consultant and Trainer, USA
""Attachment and Sexual Offending" is a must for anybody working
in the field, as well as for those who want to know more about this
area."
--Anthony Beech, University ofBirmingham, UK
