A psychoanalyst/forensic and clinical psychologist in private practice in Sydney, Australia, presents a psychoanalytic view of juvenile sex offenders as only being capable of a sexualized or violently sexualized mode of relating to others because of an inability to develop a capacity to love maturely. Drawing on object relations theory, attachment theory, neurobiology research, and Keogh's study on whether the capacity for attachment differentiates offenders from non-offenders and predicts type of offense, he stresses exploring their internal world as central to risk assessment and treatment by mentalization-based therapy.
