Understanding and evaluating the role of elders and traditional healing in sex offender treatment for Aboriginal offenders / prepared for Correctional Service Canada by Lawrence A. Ellerby, Ph. D. and...: JS5-1/18-1999E-PDF ; JS5-1/18-1999E

"This study has sought to enhance our understanding of the role that Elders and traditional healing play in the treatment of Aboriginal sex offenders. It appears clear that the experience, teachings, and healing approaches of Elders and Aboriginal program providers bring much to the treatment of sexual abuse/aggression. The current movement to provide Aboriginal offenders with the best care through the provision of both contemporary treatment and traditional healing appears to be having the desired effect of making treatment/healing more meaningful for Aboriginal offenders. Given what appears to be the potential effectiveness of this model in addressing offender risk and need, some consideration should be given to extending this approach to other offender groups"--Summary, page 111.
