Counseling Psychology sex offender sex offender treatment relapse prevention treatment modalities cognitive-behavorial treatment treatment utilization Research has shown that the majority of sex offender treatment programs in the United States and Canada use a combination of cognitive-behavioral treatment and relapse prevention designed to help sex offenders maintain behavioral changes by anticipating and coping with relapse (Bynum, 2001). The previous studies examined the perceived effectiveness of the treatment modalities but it was unknown about the utilization of these modalities. This study investigated the utilization of 48 treatment modalities among 46 sex offender treatment providers and the factors that influenced their choice. Descriptive statistics revealed that the participants chose cognitive behavioral treatment approaches with higher frequency. The multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine if providers’ age, education and years of experience would influence the treatment modality choices. The results show that the regression model for seven treatment modalities was significant and that education contributed to the variances at a statistically significant level. A large proportion of the participants indicated that they would consider a treatment modality because it is an evidence-based approach and they have professional training on the area. The findings of this study illustrate that sex offender treatment providers more often choose cognitive behavioral approaches and rely on evidence-based treatment modalities. 2016-06-03 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1459438966 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1459438966 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
