There are a handful of useful resources for treating adolescents who have been adjudicated for problematic sexual behavior, but, with the exception of this book, none that address working with young children and non-adjudicated children with problematic sexual behavior. Genevieve Naquin’s excellent book is as timely as it is informative, expertly filling this gap and providing practical guidance to treatment providers working with this population. Written from a systemic perspective that considers family and other important contextual elements, Naquin’s book provides a useful framework for better understanding the unique issues surrounding the treatment and supervision of non-adjudicated children with problematic sexual behavior, and she offers a variety of easy to follow interventions targeted to this unique population and the systems within which they function. This is a book that will benefit seasoned treatment providers, therapists who are new to the field, and clinicians who are just starting to work with younger clients with problematic sexual behavior.

As we have evolved to better discern normative vs. non-normative childhood sexual behavior, the expertise and service model to treat problematic sexual behavior (PSB) has lagged. In this book, Genevieve Naquin succinctly captures the elusive subject of clinical intervention for PSB in children. Naquin not only manualizes her stellar clinical expertise, but also provides a myriad of therapeutic tools and resources that address the complex systemic barriers that clinicians and families face when supporting a child with PSB. Use of Naquin’s book will aid clinicians in safely keeping children in their homes, mitigating further harm to others, and potentially circumventing the need for the juvenile justice system to adjudicate children with PSB.

This book is a welcome addition to the literature. It combines the latest research with an excellent knowledge of the field’s history. It then adds lots of helpful practical suggestions with a flexible structure for understanding, assessing, and treating these children. Helping children to move beyond problematic sexual behaviors starts here.
