This review is from: Exhibitionism: Description, Assessment and Treatment (Hardcover)
"The idea for this volume evolved over a number of months subsequent to the editors treatment of a case of exhibitionism that was presented at a regular staff conference meeting at the adult psychiatry clinic, University of Virginia school of medicine. We both became fascinated at the basic learning foundations of the development of exhibitionistic symptomatology and how readily the behavioral literature offered a number of intervention options for the clinician. These options appear to be empirically based an effective in discussing the case with our colleagues at the medical school, we soon became aware of the fact that although there were many published accounts of exhibitionism in the behavioral and nonbehavioral literature, treatment still tended to be unsystematic.
