Cognitive-behavioural therapy and social skills training was provided to sex offenders incarcerated at a maximum security jail. Weekly two-hour sessions occurred over a five-week program. The sessions were educational in nature and designed to teach inmates methods of restructuring faulty thinking and improving social skills. The total population included inmates charged for sexual offenses and a control population for other assault-related offenses. Of the sex offenders, rapists showed an increase in self-esteem over the duration of the program. Anxiety levels of rapists and molesters significantly decreased over the five-week program. MMPI code profiles emerged indicating a difference between the sex offenders; however, these were not significant.
