• Rehabilitation, etiology, and self-regulation: The comprehensive good lives model of treatment for sexual offenders (2006, methodology): “The GLM-C is based on two types of theoretical resources: the original Good Lives Model of offender rehabilitation (GLM-O; Ward & Stewart, 2003), and the Integrated Theory of Sexual Offending (ITSO; Ward & Beech, 2005 ).”
• Indirect Measures of Sexual Interest in Child Sex Offenders (2010, background): “Recent aetiological models of sex offending (e.g., Ward & Beech, 2006; Ward & Siegert, 2002) postulate that among numerous clinical problems such as emotional dysregulation, social difficulties, and cognitive distortions, deviant sexual interest is a primary causal factor for sex offenses.”
• Examining the process of offender change: the transition to crime desistance (2009, background): “Broadly, the GLM suggests that biological, ecological and neuropsychological variables create vulnerability for offending behaviour (Ward & Beech, 2006 ).”
• The good lives model of offender rehabilitation: Clinical implications (2007, background): “There are five types of problem clusters typically seen in sexual offenders — cognitive distortions, empathy deficits, social difficulties, emotional problems, and deviant arousal — although the degree to which they are present tends to vary from case to case (Ward & Beech, 2006).”
• Assessing Risk for Sexual Recidivism: Some Proposals on the Nature of Psychologically Meaningful Risk Factors (2010, background): “We expect that most, if not all, of the risk factors we propose here are underpinned by neuropsychological mechanisms (for further information, see Ward & Beech, 2006) as well as social and psychological mechanisms.”
• The multi-trajectory theory of adult firesetting (M-TTAF) (2012, neutral): “…or sexual offending, theory construction and proliferation has become commonplace (see Anderson, Anderson, & Deuser, 1996; Anderson & Bushman, 2002; Anderson, Deuser, & DeNeve, 1995; Anderson & Dill, 2000; Finkelhor, 1984; Ward & Beech, 2006; Ward, Polaschek, & Beech, 2006; Ward & Siegert, 2002).”
• Empathy deficits and sexual offending: A model of obstacles to empathy (2013, background): “AsWilliams (1996)wrote, “Much of cognitive therapy aims at dealing with [the] fact memory aspect of psychopathology.”
