Sex offenders: Treatment and prognosis

By Richard Schumann

The topic of "sex offenders and the treatment of sex offenders" repeatedly stirs up controversy in social, political and media debates, and often leads to stereotypical thinking and simplistic arguments that fail to do justice to the complexity of the issue. If there is one thing that can be clearly established scientifically, despite all the controversy, it is that there is no such thing as "the typical" sex offender. Rather, it is a highly heterogeneous clinical picture that requires a nuanced analysis. This book offers an in-depth, scientifically grounded examination of the treatment of sex offenders in Germany. Which treatment methods are actually used to treat sexually deviant behaviour, and what do they entail? Is it possible to make prognostic statements regarding the recidivism of sex offenders? These and other questions are analysed and discussed in this book.
