Confrontational treatment approaches for sexual offenders emphasize moral shaming In this debut volume in a new series, the director of an agency that provides assessment and treatment for
sexual offenders in Canadian prisons and for juvenile offenders in the community, and other Canadian experts in the field, take a positive psychology approach to treatment. They contribute to a
growing body of evidence that indicates that such an approach leads to reduced recidivism and improved work quality for practitioners. Following an overview of the incidence and effects of
sexual offending and theory and research in this area, the authors introduce this application of positive psychology to change behavior, and profile treatment programs they developed.
