Abstract
In the treatment of sexual delinquents in the Netherlands the personality of the offender has had a strong emphasis. The offense as such has played a minor part. In this article the importance of the offense as an object of treatment is underscored. A method is proposed in which motivational, diagnostic, and treatment aspects of the offense are recognised. The authors believe that a thorough diagnosis and treatment of sexual offenders implies having attention for the personality of the offender as much as for the offense and the possible offense pattern. Also the enhancement of treatment motivation requires major attention.Keywords
