Sex Offending: Causal Theories to Inform Research, Prevention, and Treatment

Stinson (clinical psychologist and researcher, Fulton State Hospital) and her academic co-authors examine leading theories of etiology, including the biological, cognitive, behavioral, social learning, personality and evolutionary, and also describe multimodal self-regulation theory as a new and promising integration. They explain the methodological limitations of relevant research and also future directions for research and treatment. The result is a clear and accessible description of current research and practice suitable for support of a range of disciplines and treatments.
