A sex offender therapist's story
1Bemidji State University, MN, USA. rscheela@bemidjistate.edu
Abstract:
A therapist who works with sex offenders explains how she got involved in this work, what the treatment program entails, and the difficult homework the offenders must complete to graduate. She also describes the remodeling process offenders experience as they progress through treatment. Most of the offenders she has worked with are remorseful, have been victims themselves, work very hard in treatment, and make remarkable changes to become safe, productive members of society. That is why she has found this work to be some of the most challenging and rewarding work of her life.
