| Summary |
"As the most comprehensive and exhaustive work on the subject to date, Physical Abusers and Sexual Offenders offers an inclusive look at the pathology of these two previously separate fields in unparalleled detail. The book outlines the insidious and pervasive nature of coercion and abuse in its psychological, emotional, physical, and sexual manifestations from name-calling to complete psychological deconstruction, rape, and homicide." "Drawing on his experience with over 850 state cases and his own private practice, the author offers extensive advice on differing interview methods relative to interrogation or treatment, the profile of the offender and different types of offenders, and the influence of drugs and alcohol, pornography, and genuine mental incapacity such as psychopathology or sociopathology on the cycle of abuse. Using the cognitive-behavioral approach proven effective in such cases, the author explores the psyche of the abuser with regard to the concepts of empathy, awareness, intent, and criminal history and uses them to assess treatment options and concerns."--Jacket. |
