TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Personal construct psychotherapy: Fixed-role therapy with forensic clients JO - Journal of sexual aggression A1 - Horley, James SP - 53 EP - 61 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - Fixed-role therapy, a dramaturgical approach to psychotherapy developed by Kelly in 1955, has been used in a variety of situations over the years with various client groups, including criminal offenders. Some of the benefits and limitations of fixed-role therapy with sexual abusers will be discussed. It is suggested that the strengths of some offenders, such as the social skills necessary to succeed at confidence games, be recognized and directed in fixed-role sessions. Illustrations of a number of issues will be drawn from two clinical case examples.
