"If you are pulling your hair out working with DD sex offenders, this book is for you. It provides practical solutions that can be put into immediate use. Numerous exercises can be generalized to both juveniles and adults... regardless of IQ."

"This book is an excellent resource when working with special needs sex offenders. We have been implementing this text with our incarcerated offenders. It is an excellent resource for facilitators and group leaders. Numerous illustrations assist the offender in understanding their cycles, recognizing their thinking errors, and implementing positive behaviors. Highly recommended for this special population."

"Healthy Choices, in a refreshing and practical style, offers just as the title suggests; creative strategies to reach our clients in a meaningful and respectful manner. Direct and humorous strategies include suggesting that creators of treatment programs remain flexible to make adjustments if the client is not “walking away with something” from each treatment encounter. Thank-you for this clear, hands-on, and user-friendly tool!"
Patti Smilanich, Psychologist. Department of Community Correctional Services, Iowa

"Finally a organized and user friendly workbook for the lower functioning client.  Participants like the easy to understand steps with relative identification with the artwork.  Great resource for all professionals in the field of treating the adolescent sexual abuser!"
