Abstract
Interest in the treatment of sexual aggressors has come about because sexual assaults represent a serious problem in our society and they victims and their families. Two types of responses for dealing with this issue in the fields of research and treatment have been developed. One is punitive in nature and is based on the idea that therapeutic treatment is unproductive. It is important to underline that the evidence supporting this idea is scarce. Research on more efficacious treatment models is still open. Psychotherapeutic treatment, which at present seems to produce the best outcomes, is characterized by a plurality of approaches: cognitive-behavioral, individual and group dynamics, familial, and strategic. The aim of this work is to try to look for possible solutions that may lower the frequency of these crimes and to give the aggressors the chance to confront their own problems and to understand the seriousness of the consequences produced by their acts.generate serious issues both for theI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
