- Abstract
The problem of bettering sexually deviant persons who have already incurred several penalties is of major importance in social as well as forensic respects. Since the departure from accepted sexual norms is believed by scientists to be due not only to an abnormal disposition, but to distinctive traits acquired at a very early age as well, attempts at treatment with suitable means should not at once be regarded as useless. The authors present a concept that integratevely combines suggestive and behavior-therapeutical methods, that is standardized to a certain extent, and that has yielded encouraging results in addition to being anything but time-consuming. This paper is aimed at colleagues interested in trying to help perfect this concept.
