Brief summary

Evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention including the clinical assessment carried out with the (Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression) MIDSA and the review of the results with the professional in charge of the subject on the adherence and commitment to the care of the sexual offenders.

Detailed description

The intervention of MIDSA (Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression), a multidimensional investigation tool for issues related to sexuality and violence, could be prove very useful by providing AICS patients as well as the professionals who take care of them with a complete clinical assessment which enlightens the patient on his psychopathological functioning and / or his disorders, and which guides the care through the axes of intervention to be implemented in response to the criminological and non-criminological needs of the patient. This should allow the latter a better awareness (awareness) of his difficulties in the relationship with the other, facilitate his adherence to care, obtain a better commitment on his part in the process of change and consequently, bring him change their lifestyle and gradually adopt proactive attitudes and behavior that ultimately reduce the risk of recidivism of sexual and general violence. However, recourse to MIDSA as a change operator in a patient's trajectory is only possible if it is accompanied by a resumption of his clinical assessment by a professional who supports the change process by strengthening his motivation to change their criminal behavior.
