Focuses on the under-researched area of group therapy for adults with learning difficulties who have committed sexual offences. It examines some relevant aspects of psychoanalytic theory and then describes a hospital-based group. A description of the preliminary assessment process and the profile of the group membership is followed by a detailed exploration of three areas: the group process, important group themes and the transference and countertransference. The conclusion is that people with learning difficulties should not be excluded from group therapy.
