"Understanding, Assessing, & Treating Sexual Offenders: Tools for the Therapist" By Matthew D. Rosenberg, MSW, CSW, edited by Debra Pawluck, MSW, CSW. Mr. Rosenberg has spent the past 5 years developing a workbook to assist the therapist in the orientation to sex offender treatment. Moreover, Mr. Rosenberg has developed dozens of assessment tools that assist the therapist in understanding the dynamics of a particular client. He has created numerous treatment tools and exercises that help guide both the therapist and client through the treatment process. In Section One: Essays and Orientation Tools, Mr. Rosenberg addresses topical areas such as Compassion and Sex Offender Therapy, Fear and Sexual Offending, Fantasies, The Sex Offender Therapist, Sex Offender Group Therapy, Denial and Sexual Offending, The Importance of the Family, and The Use of Metaphors, to name a few. His essays provoke meaningful thought and offer insight into many of the dynamics involved with this population. The workbook is also intended to assist in orientating the therapist to working with sexual offenders. Therefore, Mr. Rosenberg has included a number of training exercises and other material, such as Methods for Writing a Social History for Sex Offenders, Motivational Factors Associated with Child Molestation, a full Training Outline, Core Phases of Sex Offender Therapy, and a Risk Classification System and Treatment Setting. Included in the appendix are examples of a full psychosocial history report, treatment plan with goals and objectives, a glossary of terms, resource page, full bibliography, and three Training Scenarios for the therapist (Profiles and Modus Operandi, Victimology, and Interviewing and Assessment). To assist the therapist in assessing his or her client, Mr. Rosenberg has developed dozens of assessment tools. Some of the tools include The Offense and Sexual Development History, 3 Projective Stories (for adolescents and children), The Rosenberg Historical Risk Assessment, The Truth Scale, The Rosenberg Sexual Deviance Assessment, The Rosenberg Deception Assessment, Erotic Sentence Completion, Victimology Scale, and many more. Finally, in Section Three: Treatment Tools, there are numerous exercises that will assist the client in increasing victim empathy, understanding his or her behaviors, highlighting cognitive distortions, and assisting with relapse prevention. Some of the exercises include Victim Empathy, Precycle Chart of Affect, Cognition, and Behavior, Feelings/Thoughts/Behaviors Exercise, Distortions in Cognitions, Factors that Contribute to Sexual Abuse, Stress/Fantasies/and Masturbation, Triggers, Relapse Prevention Plan Outline, and numerous treatment tests and quizzes. The workbook is 190 pages in length, and has a spiral binding to make copying very easy for the therapist.
