Charles is a chronic sex offender in treatment. After being given electric shocks whenever he became sexually aroused by deviant stimuli, his arousal to those stimuli diminished. What additional forms of treatment is he likely to need in order to be effectively treated?

What will be an ideal response?


He will need to develop sexual arousal to acceptable stimuli. Treatment involves imagining appropriate stimuli when he masturbates. Cognitive restructuring is also useful in challenging the distorted thinking in most sex offenders. Social skill training in reading women's nonverbal cues is also important, especially in the treatment of rapists.
