Subject: Family systems work with juvenile sex offenders


Can anyone on the listserv suggest any research measuring the effectiveness
of family therapy on treating juvenile sex offenders?  I am wondering if any
such research exists or if my question is a bit too narrow.  I am also
interested in the effectiveness of any treatment approach that integrally
involves the family with the juvenile offender's treatment.  It wouldn't
necessarily have to be treatment that is oriented to family systems.
Thanks!
