Book excerpt: We have come to understand that for many sexual abusers, treatment works -- if we can find the right combination of approaches. The points of view represented here support the urge of treatment providers to keep looking for more effective approaches, and provide a firm basis in current practice and the history of the field. Editors ans authors Mark Carich and Steven Mussack have created a reference that is practitionner-oriented and refuses to shy away from healthy disagreement. The Handbook for sexual abuser assessment and treatment provides the basic outline of treatment approaches and their justification -- the "how and why" of current practice. It is an invaluable resource for any agency treating sexual abusers and taking on new practitionners. Any debate engendered by this volume can only stimulate more effort, enhancing our ability to assist the sexual abusers entrusted to our care. Translating this opportunity into fewer victims in the future is what we are all about.
