This chapter reviews the literature on the treatment of sexually abusive behavior with respect to both the general and cognitively disabled populations, and provides recommendations for a model of treatment and support for those with a disability. Developments in the psychological treatment of sexual offending in the general population has followed a path paralleling that of other psychological issues, transitioning from psychodynamic to behavior therapy and then cognitive‐behavioral therapy (CBT). The literature and practice have become divergent, with a shift toward the use and evaluation of CBT in offender populations while studies of the general population appear to continue to employ behavioral interventions. The self‐regulation model proposes pathways to offending. Offending may occur due to an inability to control behavior (underregulation), a desire to not offend but a use of ineffective strategies (misregulation), or a desire to offend in an individual whose self‐regulation is intact but who has inappropriate goals.
