TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Comprehending and rehabilitating Roman Catholic clergy offenders of child sexual abuse JO - Journal of child sexual abuse A1 - Anderson, Jane SP - 772 EP - 795 VL - 24 IS - 7 N2 - Many have studied Roman Catholic clergy who have sexually abused children, but the range of investigations remains disconnected. This article brings together various disciplinary perspectives to form a comprehensive view. A review of the literature is first undertaken to comprehend how clergy offenders have been conceptualized in psychosocial, sociocultural, and moral-religious studies. These perspectives are then used as a foundation for examining how these clergy can be rehabilitated. Three rehabilitative modalities--psychological treatment, rehabilitation through restorative justice, and ritual healing--are explored. The article concludes with a discussion of the insights gained from the literature review and how the modalities can be advanced in an interdependent and considered approach.
