Group Treatment with Sexual Offenders: A Choice Theory Based Approach

This article introduces a treatment approach with sexual offenders that centers around groupwork. Sexual offender outcome literature is reviewed briefly and an introduction to William Glasser’s choice theory is provided, as it is the theoretical basis for this intervention. A case example is included for conceptualization and discussion. Conclusions highlight the importance of using a strengths-based, present and future-focused approach to treatment with individuals who have been convicted of a sexual offense.
