Abstract
Sexual acting out behavior has become a major issue in the United States, with more mental health care professionals seeking assistance in providing effective treatment for this complex and interesting population. Reviews of the literature support the fact that specialized treatments often can be effective (Schwartz, 1995); however, without targeted interventions, recidivistic behaviors can be very high. Innovative approaches are all too uncommon. Many suggest group therapy is an essential, as well as cost-effective, component of a comprehensive treatment program (Schwartz, 1995; Freeman-Longo & Blanchard, 1998). In this article, a model for group therapy for men with a range of sexually acting out problems is presented. This semi-structured group therapy model combines psychodynamic cognitive-behavioral theoretical perspectives in a 16-week module in which structured exercises and group process-oriented interventions are employed. In this article we discuss group format, content, and process in an effort to elucidate the specific challenges and common issues of this population.
