Phallometric Testing With Sexual Offenders

Over the last three decades phallometric testing has become an important tool in the assessment of sexual offenders. But many issues remain surrounding phallometry : What does it tell us about sexual offenders? For which populations of sexual offenders is phallometric testing useful? How should phallometric testing be carried out? In this comprehensively researched book, Marshall and Fernandez address these and other questions. They cover the history, the theoretical basis, and the research into phallometry, highlighting what is known about phallometry, where further research is needed, and what clinicians need to be aware of when using phallometry.
