Written in a scholarly, yet accessible manner, this resource for practitioners, researchers, and students provides an overview of what is currently known about the juvenile sex offender. Sixteen contributions from academics and therapists identify key biological, social, and psychological factors in the development of sexual deviance and aggression and describe a variety of interventions such as cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological treatment. Updated to reflect the findings of recent research, the second edition features seven entirely new chapters. Editor Barbaree teaches psychiatry at the U. of Toronto, and Marshall directs a sex offender treatment program. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
