What Is in a Symptom? A Conservative Approach in the Therapy of Sex Offenders.

Pfafflin, Friedemann

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v18 n3-4 p5-17 1992

Reviews methods of treatment used with sex offenders, each based on the erroneous belief that sex offenders constitute a relatively homogeneous taxonomic class. Asserts that sex offenders are people with a sad personal history, in which their deviant sexual behavior represents an effort to banish the pain they experienced during their developing years.
