A closer look at sex offender character pathology and relapse prevention: an integrative approach
Article Abstract:
The Counseling and Psychotherapy Center has developed a treatment based on a closer look at sex offender character pathology and relapse prevention. The center developed principles of change and recovery to be followed in treatment of the offender character pathology. Classical psychoanalysis has not been able to deal adequately with the underlying narcissistic character pathology of this group to cut down on relapse adequately. It may be useful to look at interpersonal aspects, the cycle of offending behavior and the nature of high-risk situations.

A central dilemma among professionals is the tension between the need to have a working relationship with clients and personal abhorrence for their criminal activity.
