Physical Abusers and Sexual Offenders 'Forensic and Clinical Strategies'

Offering a new, inclusive look at the pathology of these two previously separate fields, this book outlines the insidious and pervasive nature of coercion and abuse in all its manifestations from minor name-calling to complete psychological deconstruction, rape, and homicide. Drawing on his extensive experience, the author offers detailed advice on interview methods relative to interrogation or treatment, the profile of the offender, and the influence of alcohol, pornography, and mental illness on the cycle of abuse. Using the cognitive-behavioral approach, he explores the psyche of the abuser with regard to empathy, awareness, intent, and criminal history and uses these factors to assess treatment options and concerns.
