According to the National Center on Sexual Behavior of Youth, although research is limited, researchers have complied some basic information related to adolescent sex offenders. 1. Adolescent sex offenders typically do not commit offenses against adults, and adolescents who do victimize adults tend to be older than 16. 2. About one-third of sex crimes against children are committed by teenagers. Offenses against children under the age of 12 are typically committed by boys aged 12 to 15. 3. Adolescent sex offenders differ from adult sex offenders in multiple ways. They tend to have fewer victims and engage in less-serious behaviors. They typically do not share the same deviant sexual interests that adults do, and they are typically more responsive to treatment than adult sex offenders. Dr. Jorge Galindo is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in court-referred cases involving children, adolescents, and families. He and his wife, licensed psychologist and social worker Miriam Galindo, operate a clinical and forensic therapy practice in Irvine, California. Dr. Jorge Galindo has practiced family therapy in diverse settings, including a residential facility for adolescent sex offenders.
Family therapy practice is based on the concept that the family is a distinct social system with its own concerns. Parenting styles, individual personalities, and singular or ongoing events all influence the family structure. What affects one individual in the family necessarily affects the other family members. Therefore, family therapists must consider the whole family in their practices and treatments. This approach strengthens the entire family, and, perhaps most importantly, helps family members understand how their family operates. Family therapists are often employed in cases where the family is experiencing a major life change, or one or more members have been diagnosed with a medical condition. Family therapists perform many duties, including assisting in conflict resolution and the development of effective coping strategies. Family therapists also facilitate cooperative techniques and help members create healthy relationships that foster resilience and recovery. |
