The affect [sic] of psychotherapy and pharmacological treatment on sex offender relapse rates
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if sex offender treatment programs that utilize both medication and psychotherapeutic techniques as part of their treatment regimen had a different effect on treatment outcome (as measured by recidivism rate) than programs that were solely psychotherapeutic in technique. The study made use of meta-analytic techniques to quantitatively review the treatment outcome literature that exists for this particular population. Results indicate that treatment programs that use the combination of medication and psychotherapy were able to reduce the recidivism rate of sexual offenders by a larger amount than programs that used only psychotherapy. Some of the methodological problems that exist within the current literature are reviewed and suggestions for ways to improve future research are discussed.
