Such an assessment, called a psychsexual evaluatin r assessment usually includes a descriptin f the scpe f the difficulty, by defining the nature, histry, and structure f the sexual prblem. This specialized assessment ften includes interviews; review f recrds, and in sme cases psychlgical testing. The gals f such an assessment is t identify and describe behavir and patterns f sexualized actins that are prblematic, t help differentiate between prblematic and expected sexual develpment, t establish the level f risk that the child/adlescent presents t ther children/adlescents and the cmmunity, and t speak t the type f interventin mst apprpriate fr the child/adlescent. What is a psychsexual evaluatin? It is an evaluatin cnducted by a mental health prfessinal that fcuses n the client's psychlgical and sexual functining. This evaluatin als examines the client's sexual interests, attitudes and behavirs t see if the client has a sexual deviancy prblem. These evaluatins als assess the client's risk fr re-ffending r acting ut sexually in the future. This part f the evaluatin is called a risk assessment. Wh is qualified t cnduct a psychsexual evaluatin? A mental health prfessinal, usually licensed with a master's r dctral degree in cunseling, scial wrk, psychlgy r sme ther mental health discipline is qualified t cnduct an evaluatin. The prfessinal shuld have received specialized training in hw t assess and treat sexual deviancy. This is a specialty area in which mst mental health prfessinals have nt received training. The mental health prfessinal shuld have training and/r experience in evaluating individuals in the specified age range.

2 The Assciatin fr the Treatment f Sexual Abusers (ATSA) is an rganizatin f prfessinals wh are trained t evaluate and treat sexual abusers. Accrding t ATSA's "Principles fr the Management f Sexual Abusers," a mental health prfessinal wh wrks with sex ffenders shuld have "demnstrated cmpetence in prviding a minimum f 2000 hurs f face-t-face cntact with clients wh have perpetrated sexual abuse."

Fr adlescents, this evaluatin might als include cmpleting a plygraph assessment r a test that measures ne's sexual interest in different types f sexual stimuli. This test is called an Abel Assessment. The types f testing and prcedures used in psychsexual evaluatins vary with the age f the client being evaluated. Thus, the testing fr children is different frm the testing administered t adlescents and adults. When is a psychsexual evaluatin needed? It is needed when smene is knwn t have cmmitted a sex ffense. A psychsexual evaluatin can assess the individual's treatment needs and risk fr re-ffending.

Fr sexually aggressive children and adlescents, this evaluatin can als be helpful in assessing the child's placement needs. Fr example, a psychsexual evaluatin can help determine if the child needs residential treatment t treat his sexually aggressive behavirs. When smene has been suspected f having cmmitted a sex ffense r acted in an inapprpriate sexual manner. A psychsexual evaluatin cannt assess guilt r inncence regarding a specific sex ffense.

6 treatment than is available n an utpatient basis. Thus, a specialized residential treatment prgram fr adlescent sex ffenders may be recmmended. Wh typically requests the psychsexual evaluatin f an adlescent? Judges r prbatin fficers frm juvenile curt wh are wrking with adlescents wh have cmmitted a sex ffense. Judges ften rder an adlescent wh has been cnvicted f a sex ffense t receive a psychsexual evaluatin befre the adlescent returns t curt fr his sentencing r dispsitinal hearing.

Mental health agencies that need t assess an adlescent's specific treatment needs.

An adlescent's defense attrney may request a psychsexual evaluatin f his client. Usually, the defense attrney is hping that the evaluatr can recmmend prbatin fr his client if the client's risk fr re-ffending is lw enugh. A defense attrney may als hpe t use a psychsexual evaluatin t help secure a residential treatment placement fr the adlescent rather than incarceratin. Smetimes, defense attrneys request a psychsexual evaluatin in the hpe that the evaluatr can state that the adlescent did nt cmmit the sex ffense in questin. Hwever, evaluatrs can never assess guilt r inncence regarding a sex ffense. There is n psychlgical test that can prve r disprve that a persn cmmitted a sex ffense.
