| Abstract: | Surveyed 22 Canadian programs for sex offenders by means of site visits and questionnaires issued to program directors. Collectively, these programs provided services to more than 1,500 sex offenders annually. Programs varied considerably in size (7–250 clients), duration (3–36 mo), and intensity (1–33 hrs per wk). Assessments were typically multimodel, involving interviews, file reviews, and psychological testing. Similarly, the treatment services provided by most settings included a variety of behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches. On average, each program targeted 17 different risk factors. (French abstract) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
