How much feedback do you give to the Sex Offender client after you've done the first evaluation to assist with treatment planning?
Do you just sit down and talk to them about the results?
Or do you give them some kind of written report? The full report that you send on to the supervision officer? Or a summary without all of the details about specific test results?
I can see that giving them feedback on the AASI might spoil the results if a follow-up assessment is done.
How much do you hold back, and how much do you share?

I do assessments based on risk for the Public Defender's office for Megan's Law cases and also for Living With Children evaluations for Parole as to whether the individual is "good to go" for living with his or girlfriend/wife's children. Since Parole occasionally loses or misfiles the LWC evals, I send a copy to the client and tell him to keep it in a safe place.
I answered the poll with the above consideration as far as sharing it with the client. I'll give him the Megan's Law report if requested.

I go over the report with the client, giving the client opportunity to comment on what is there, including test results. I also discuss issues that may be a part of his treatment plan. The client gets a copy of the report.

I think I answered the question wrong. I was thinking the court, not the clien. I give verbal feedback, but not the written report unless it is requested.

Has anyone used the MIDSA - Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex and Aggression? It is a computorized self report inventory that provides a clinical report to support therapeutic inttervention with juveniles and adults who offend. I've heard that British Columbia is looking at it.

Hi. When I do evaluations, they are almost always ordered by the courts. I give a verbal summary with the client, though many are not interested, it seems. I do not give a written report to anyone other than the referring officer. I have been asked for a written report a couple of times, and I have provided it when asked.
