Treatment of Sex Offenders is a well-written book … edited by two well-respected figures in the field. ... this appears to be an important contribution to the field and will prove to be quite useful for documenting the current state-of-the-art in assessment and treatment of sexual offenders.” (Anita Schlank, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (36), September, 2016)\u003cp\u003e“The intended audience is forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and social workers. The book is written by an international collection of authors from the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Germany, and New Zealand. … This book does a good job of discussing both theoretical and clinical issues. The strengths\/weaknesses approach helps clinicians to better understand what works and what does not. It should be in the libraries of professionals and researchers who work with sexual offenders.” (Gary B.
