Abstract
The goal of this article to provide a brief overview of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and how these treatment modalities are being used to treat sexual offenders, specifically sexual offenders with intellectual disabilities (ID). As treatment programs aim to reduce sexual recidivism, they face a unique challenge to find ways to provide effective treatment to sexual offenders with ID. As such, clinicians and treatment programs are finding ways to adapt treatment for this population.
