abstract="Therapists who work with sex offenders most often use cognitive behavioral therapies in their treatment approach. Recent research has shown that recidivism rates for sex offenders may be related in part to intimacy deficits and the inability to establish healthy, committed relationships. It may, therefore, be salient to add a systemic approach with an emphasis on relationship in treating sexual offenders. The inclusion of differentiation and intimacy skills modules with the traditional behavior treatment may prove effective in lowering recidivism as well as individualizing treatment and perhaps improving sex offender partner relationships.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
