Describes a cognitive therapy for men with a learning disability convicted of sex offences with children. Methods are described which focus the session, emphasise confidentiality, ensure that the patient accepts responsibility for the offence, and deal with issues of intent, harm done to the victim and sequences of offending behaviour. Methods for producing cognitive change are described. The study attempts to address two major problems in work with sex offenders: the difficulty of employing a controlled treatment design and the importance of a long follow-up period.
