"A state-of-the-art guide to the clinical and public policy issue surrounding sex offender evaluation and treatment. THorough, well-researched, and well edited."--Jeffrey S. Janofsky, MD, Psychiatry and Law Program, The John Hopkins University SChool of Medicine"This book is written by the leading experts in the field. It is unusually comprehensive and essential reading for anyone with professional contact with sex offenders. In my opinion, this book will likely become the authoritative work in the field."--Robert Weinstock, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles"There is no doubt that the literature on the topics this work addresses is limited and distributed over a large number of specialties, making accessing it time consuming and tiring. The editors have assembled some of the most well recognized legal, clinical, and forensic practitioners throughout the world who have boiled downbasic and advanced information into manageable and comprehensible chapters...It is well written, well researched, and well edited, and will be a valuable addition to the library of any clinician working with the sex offender population."--Doodys
