Book Reviews of Men Who Rape: The Psychology Of The Offender
Book Review: Definitive Work, for all Mental Health Professionals
Summary: 5 Stars
Although Dr. Groth wrote Men Who Rape in 1979, it has remained the definitive source for information about male sex offenders for all these years. Here he dispels myths about rape through careful documentation, delineates his basic and enduring classification of rape, and explains the psychological dynamics that drive each offender: the Power Rapist, the Anger Rapist, and the Sadistic Rapist. Professionals working with sex offenders, as well as victims of sexual abuse and those trying to help them, need to understand these basic concepts.
Any mental health professional working in the area of sexual abuse of children or adults should be thoroughly familiar with this book, now once again in print and available in paperback. Its academic style makes it difficult for the general public to read easily, but well educated non-professionals will find it worthwhile. In my own work with sexual abuse victims I draw heavily on this resource to help them answer the question, "Why did he rape me?"
-Dr. Lynn Daugherty, Bestselling Author of the Award Winning Classic Why Me? Help for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse (Even if they are adults now), Fourth Edition
