GROUP THERAPY WITH SEX DEVIANTS

Abstract

Two open-ended groups are conducted consisting exclusively of male sex deviants, each numbering approximately 12 members. At all times each group has at least one female staff member present who serves as an adjunct to the therapist and actively participates.
Treatment is based on Reality Therapy techniques. It is not claimed that this approach represents the only method by which the sex deviant can be successfully treated. However, it appears to be the most effective method for most patients on the basis of our experience here and thorough study of the literature.
