A Problem-Solving Intervention for Sex Offenders with an Intellectual Disability.
O'Connor, Wendy
Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, v21 n3 p219-35 Sep 1996
A study was conducted of 13 male sex offenders with mild intellectual disability (ages 17 to 43) in Victoria (Australia). Results suggest that cognitive restructuring, consequence training, relapse prevention, and covert sensitization appear to be promising intervention techniques. The importance of early intervention to prevent sexual offenses is emphasized. (CR)
