These covered three main areas: (1) assessments tools currently available; (2) factors specifically associated with motivation and readiness; and (3) relevant processes/interventions that directly affect motivation or readiness.Conclusions/Implications for practice:With regards to the factors (and barriers) linked to motivation and readiness to engage with treatment, the evidence presented in this review confirmed the multi-factorial nature of these concepts. The proposed synthesis seems to be in line with what is outlined within the Multifactor Offender Readiness Model (MORM; Ward et al., 2004) and the main point that emerged from this review is that offenders’ motivation and readiness is best understood through aspects that are both internal to the person or that depend on individuals, and external, in the features of the context, environment and people that surround them. As regards interventions to enhance readiness and motivation, the evidence is rather limited and mainly restricted to specific types of offenders; based on what is available, it appears that some interventions with this purpose can have positive effects on individuals.","PeriodicalId":426788,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Update","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131395872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the present study was to investigate how schema-focused approaches may be able to further inform treatment for those who sexually offend, through the identification of early maladaptive schemas (EMS). A rapid evidence assessment (REA) was completed with six, cross-sectional design studies to determine which early maladaptive schemas were most prevalent amongst individuals who sexually offend, and how this information could be used to inform treatment.Results showed that individuals who sexually offend against children were likely to have the following schemas; Abandonment/Instability, Mistrust/Abuse, Defectiveness/Shame, Self-Sacrifice, Negativity/Pessimism, and Emotional Inhibition. Additionally, Social Isolation, Dependence/Incompetence, Vulnerability to harm or illness, Enmeshment/Undeveloped self, Failure to achieve, Entitlement/Grandiosity, Subjugation, Unrelenting standards/Hypercriticalness and Punitiveness schemas were also found to be prevalent for individuals who sexually offend against children. However, these schemas were also reflected to be prevalent for those who sexually offend against adults.Overall, the findings suggested that the above schemas are important and potentially contribute to the prevalence of sexual offending. As such, the findings can be used to inform treatment programmes to include exploration of the effects of adverse life experiences, interpersonal effectiveness in relationships, emotional management, and the exploration of offence supportive attitudes and beliefs as part of the treatment. Due to the ‘rapid’ nature of this assessment and its limitations, findings should not be treated as conclusive and may require further investigation.","PeriodicalId":426788,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Update","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130904728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
