Men Who Rape

Forcible sexual assault has become a critical issue in our society, and, increasingly, human service providers are being asked to address themselves to this serious social problem. This book is basic reading for anyone whose work brings him into contact with the offender or his victim. Based on over 15 years of extensive clinical experience with more than 500 sexual offenders, Men Who Rape examines the psychological and emotional factors which predispose a person to react to situational and life events with sexual violence. It provides a framework for understanding the developmental histories, the life styles, and the motivations of men who rape and offers guidelines for the identification, diagnostic assessment, and treatment of such offenders in order to help train professionals working in this area.
