An Overlooked Factor in Sexual Abuse: Psychological and Physical Force Examined.

Johnson, Scott A.

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v28 n1-2 p141-51 1998

Separate studies of sex offenders in treatment while serving prison sentences and placed on probation suggest that psychological force is more commonly used in sexual assault than physical force. Seven types of psychological force are described, and the conceptual validity of this schematic for use in treatment is evaluated. (Author/EMK)
