Abstract

[Providing evidence-based interventions to persons who have sexually offended can be a challenging enterprise at the best of times. Any difficulties encountered are exacerbated further when clients presenting for treatment demonstrate significant treatment-interfering factors (e.g., problem-solving skills deficits, impulsivity, lack of motivation, narcissism, emotional dysregulation, denial/minimization). These barriers can seriously threaten the establishment of prosocial change and, ultimately, successful community integration. Clinical presentations to consider include clients with intellectual and other cognitive processing difficulties, severe and persistent mental health issues, or highly entrenched antisocial values and attitudes, in addition to clients with other presentations that are harder to categorize but who still show difficulties in treatment readiness (see Wilson, 2009).]
