Here for the first time is a comprehensive guide to integrating the Good Lives and Self-Regulation models into a sex offender treatment program. The authors present the two models as a combined program to achieve two goals with offenders: building a lifestyle incompatible with offending and effectively managing risk. This book is a thorough, step-by-step guide that first lays the groundwork with the fundamentals, continues with sections on assessment and treatment, and wraps up with post-treatment maintenance and supervision. A practical, common-sense guide written specifically for clinicians from the leading Good Lives experts, this is a book that should be part of the library of everyone who treats or manages sex offenders. Reviews: Both veteran clinicians and clinicians new to the field will find this to be a valuable asset. This is a must read for anyone who truly wants to be effective in working with sexual offenders. - ATSA Forum Review Contents Part I - Introduction 1. Introduction and Use of Manual 2.
