An Integrated Theory of Sexual Offending: Implications for Practice

The book will introduce the Integrated Theory of Sexual Offending (ITSO) and start with a general overview. The core assumptions of the theory will be examined in subsequent chapters (eg the biological component, the neuropsychological systems and social competency problems), which will include the evidence and supporting theory for ITSO. The final chapters will sketch out the practical implications of ITSO for risk assessment and treatment.

This comprehensive text provides an up-to-date review and critique of current theorising about sexual offending. It presents the key ideas underpinning each theory in a clear and accessible manner. Theories are rigorously tested and evaluated, and their merits are examined from both a research and a clinical point of view. 
Importantly, the emphasis is on providing clear links between theory and practice, and the clinical implications of the different theories and perspectives are explicitly discussed. In addition, a number of new ideas about the aetiology of sexual offending are presented. Theories of Sexual Offending is one of the few books to draw all of the disparate strands of theorising together, and is the only one to clearly link theory to practice. It will be a valuable resource for any professional working with sexual offenders, such as clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, probation officers and social workers. It will also be of interest to students of forensic and clinical psychology.
