Why Therapy Fails with Some Sex Offenders: Learning Difficulties Examined Empirically.
Langevin, Ron; Marentette, Dennis
Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v23 n3-4 p143-55 1996
A total of 203 men accused of sexual offenses were compared on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, the Halstead-Reitan Battery, school grade repeats, and therapy outcome measures. Sex offenders with and without learning problems did not differ in desire for treatment, but those with learning problems had better attendance. (LSR)
