Counselling Male Sexual Offenders: A Strengths-Focused Approach informs readers how to utilise an easily accessible, integrative, strengths-focused counselling approach with men who pose a sexual risk. There is currently a scarcity of published material which teaches people in a practical way how to conduct one-to-one counselling with different sorts of male sex offenders.
