  • Title: Denigration of a victim in group psychotherapy by violent vs seductive sex offenders.
    Author: Eisenman R.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1993 Apr; 72(2):413-4. PubMed ID: 8488224.
    Abstract:
    Two psychotherapy groups were set up in a prison treatment program, one for violent sex offenders, the other for sex offenders who were less violent and primarily used seduction to obtain sex. Most of the patients were child molesters. Observations showed that over the course of 10 group psychotherapy sessions, 8 out of 10 violent offenders said denigrating things about their victims vs 2 out of 10 seductive offenders. The significant comparison if supported by cross-validation suggests the value of the distinction of violence vs seduction for sex offenders.
