The majority of convicted sex offenders are eventually released back into the community. Consequently, effective treatment interventions that can lower the recidivism rates of sexual offenders are needed. Cognitive behavioral interventions based on the principles of risk, needs, and responsivity are the most common form of treatment used with sex offenders. To date, there is preliminary evidence that suggests that treatment using cognitive behavioral techniques decreases subsequent sex offender recidivism. This article reviews the current research on cognitive behavioral techniques for the treatment of sex offenders and provides guidelines for treatment providers.

Key Words: sex offenders • cognitive behavioral therapy • correctional heath care • recidivism
