John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to explore how treatment procedures for adult sexual offenders have advanced in the last two decades. In particular, this chapter will examine some popular treatment targets for sexual offenders such as cognitive distortions,victim empathy and relapse prevention. Have these approaches stood the test of time,or do adjustments need to be made to long-standing treatment models to incorporate the latest research and clinical developments? We will summarize the evidence base for modern treatment procedures and draw conclusions about the current state of the art in terms of content, style and implementation of treatment.
