Recenzii

"The text written by Rudy Flora and Michael Keohane is a true asset to anyone who is working with sex offenders. In the past it has been most difficult if not impossible to find one text that has a comprehensive and practical presentation of sexual acting out. Flora and Keohane have presented that text. It thoroughly explains the role of each person who will have a responsibility of working with sex offenders. Flora and Keohane have also structured their book in a way that it is easy to understand and it presents current research and information on every aspect of sexual offending while not overwhelming the reader with too much detail." - Robin Widener, Assistant Professor of Police Science, Virginia Highlands Community College 
"In this Second Edition, Flora and Keohane have provided an important update of this seminal book. Every clinician who works with sex offenders will appreciate the detailed and pragmatic help in navigating the complex systems involved with treating this population. Especially of interest are updated and expanded sections on assessment and treatment of internet sex offenders, sex addiction, and female offenders.  This is book, like its first addition, remains the most important clinical reference book on sex offenders available." - Terry S. Trepper, PhD, Editor, Journal of Family Psychotherapy; Professor of Psychology, Purdue University Calumet

"This edition of How to Work With Sex Offenders is a truly comprehensive handbook whose usefulness spans multiple professions. It exposes the professional reader, clearly and understandably, to the workings of the other systems- from legal and law enforcement to social services to mental health treatment." - Jana Dreyzehner, MD, Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist; Chief Medical Officer, Health Connect America
"Rudy Flora and Michael Keohane have provided professionals in the mental health and criminal justice field with an extremely helpful and hopeful volume on working with sex offenders.  This book is empathic, compassionate, evidence-based, comprehensive and replete with guidelines to steer the day-to-day practice of dealing with sex offenders.  I heartily recommend it to those who encounter such clients in any setting." - John Ludgate, PhD, Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, CBT Center, Asheville, NC
"After reviewing this book through the eyes of a former prosecutor with over 25 years experience in the prosecution of adult and juvenile sex offenders, I find it to be an excellent resource and required reading for all current and future mental health professionals." - Dennis L. Godfrey, attorney and former prosecutor, Abingdon, Virginia
"This book is a must read for all law enforcement officers, victim advocates, prosecutors, probation, and personnel who encounter sex offenders in the criminal justice system.  It contains the most direct and on point information about working with sex offenders that I have read in my 25 years in the criminal justice system." - Sharon Reed, Director, Washington County Victim Assistance Program
