ESSAY ON: Psychological Theories, Child Molesters, and the Incarcerated

Number of Pages 11

This research paper: This 11 page report discusses two psychological theories -- psychodynamic theory and cognitive/behavior theory -- in the context of child molesters and those who are incarcerated for the crime. Most people think of child molestation as one of the (if not the single) most heinous of all crimes. Because it is thought of as such, countless researchers, mental health professionals, and social scientists make every effort to determine just what it is that causes a person to molest a child. Is it biological? Is it a response to how the person was treated when he was a child? Is their a deep psychological deviancy that sees a child as an appropriate sexual focus? These questions and many others always circle around the issue of molestation. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
