| Abstract: |
Due to the epidemic nature of sexual abuse, addiction, and compulsivity, there is a need for increased efforts to accurately assess, treat, and monitor known sex offenders and those afflicted with sexual disorders. Polygraph testing serves as an effective tool in determining the type and severity of dysfunction present and the appropriate course of treatment. In addition, polygraph testing can improve treatment outcomes by shortening the denial phase and by drastically reducing relapse and/or reoffending rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
