This text provides a knowledge base in relation to child sexual abusers which is focused on practice - assessment, treatment and evaluation - but rooted in psychological theory. It simplifies and outlines an approach to this group of offenders, particularly so given that the author has developed and managed a sex offender project in South East London which is now one of the largest, longest running, and most thoroughly evaluated in the country.Although some of the academic focus is on British factors, the book aims to appeal to an international audience in terms of the step-by-step detail relating to the process of assessment and treatment, and a chapter has been devoted to the primary challenge of denial in child sexual abusers.
