Abstract
Five years of treatment for an adolescent sex offender and sex addict, who was adjudicated at 14 and diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, highlights many issues treatment providers have to address. The role of assessment, interfacing with the family and the legal system, offender treatment, trauma and sexual compulsivity treatment, residential and outpatient therapy, family and community safety are elements of a complex treatment process at various stages. Family treatment and appropriate support groups are considerations that challenge existing models and knowledge. The difficulties of cases like these suggest ways that sexual offending and sexual addiction treatments can be integrated and provide for community safety as well as personal recovery.
