Resumo(s)
This study examined the preliminary results of a 25-session
individual intervention program designed for individuals who
sexually offended against children (ISOCs) in Portugal, whether in
prison or the community setting. A randomized controlled pilot
study was conducted, where eighteen ISOCs were randomly
assigned to receive the INSIGHT intervention plus treatment as
usual (TAU) or only TAU. ISOCs in the treatment condition
demonstrated significant reductions in cognitive distortions
related to child sexual abuse, some early maladaptive schemas,
psychopathology, interpersonal problems, and risk of sexual
violence, along with increases in self-esteem, empathy, and
empathy towards victims, all with larger effect sizes. Most of
these improvements were sustained at the 3-month follow-up.
The intervention shows a potential promise in reducing the risk
of sexual violence by addressing risk-relevant factors. Further
evaluation with a larger sample is needed for more robust
conclusions.
