Abstract

Sexual violence is a significant public health problem and a devastating issue for mental health throughout the world. Clinicians and researchers have worked, over the last decades, to develop effective strategies aimed at reducing sexual abuse rates. Multiple treatment approaches for sex offenders have been developed, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) been the most widely used therapy model with recognized effectiveness. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of CBT based interventions in the treatment of individuals convicted of sexual crimes. For this purpose, a systematic review of articles published between 2012 and 2022 was carried out in the databases Pubmed, Science Direct, APA PsycNet and Scielo, with the keywords “cognitive behavioral therapy”, “CBT”, “sexual offender”, “sexual crimes” and others. As a result, eight studies were selected that met the defined inclusion criteria. Cognitive-behavioral interventions have shown great promise in reducing sexual crime recidivism and improving self-control, emotional regulation, intra and interpersonal social skills, supporting the hypothesis that CBT may be a promising model of intervention in forensic settings with sex offenders.

基于CBT的性犯罪者干预的有效性:近十年文献的系统回顾

性暴力是一个重大的公共卫生问题，也是全世界精神卫生的一个毁灭性问题。在过去的几十年里，临床医生和研究人员一直在努力制定有效的策略，旨在降低性虐待率。针对性犯罪者的治疗方法多种多样，其中认知行为疗法(CBT)是应用最广泛的治疗模式，具有公认的有效性。从这个意义上说，本研究旨在分析和评估基于CBT的干预措施对性犯罪罪犯的治疗效果。为此，我们对Pubmed、Science Direct、APA PsycNet和Scielo数据库中2012 - 2022年间发表的文章进行了系统回顾，关键词为“认知行为治疗”、“CBT”、“性犯罪者”、“性犯罪”等。结果，我们选择了8项符合纳入标准的研究。认知行为干预在减少性犯罪累犯、提高自我控制、情绪调节、内部和人际交往能力方面表现出了巨大的希望，这支持了CBT可能是一种有希望的性犯罪者法医干预模式的假设。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry is intended to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and information among professionals concerned with the interface of law and psychiatry. There is a growing awareness of the need for exploring the fundamental goals of both the legal and psychiatric systems and the social implications of their interaction. The journal seeks to enhance understanding and cooperation in the field through the varied approaches represented, not only by law and psychiatry, but also by the social sciences and related disciplines.
