Abstract
This chapter starts with a plea for the group treatment of offenders. Then, a cognitive-behavioral group treatment program for violent offenders and one for sexually violent offenders have been described. The content and form of these programs are based on the heuristic models presented in Chap. 2, a review of the literature, our research, and our clinical experience. The programs are intended to reduce dynamic risk factors and to strengthen protective factors. Information is provided on our clinical experience with the various modules of the programs. In the description of the different modules, the order is used in which they were applied in several Dutch forensic psychiatric hospitals and outpatient clinics.
