The treatment of sex offenders with mental retardation is receiving increased attention. Such offenders who are experiencing stress are more likely to use coping strategies effectively if they have a large network of nurturing environmental contacts and are, therefore, less insulated from their environment. In the present study an assessment tool--the ECO-MAP--was used that graphically illustrates the degree of integration of an offender. This instrument has proven to be extremely useful as a clinical aid in the intervention-planning process, the contracting phase of intervention, and in the evaluation of outcomes.
对患有智力障碍的性犯罪者的治疗正受到越来越多的关注。如果这类正承受压力的犯罪者拥有庞大的支持性环境接触网络，他们就更有可能有效地运用应对策略，因此也就不会那么与外界环境隔绝。在本研究中，使用了一种评估工具——生态图，它以图形方式展示了犯罪者的融入程度。事实证明，该工具在干预计划制定过程、干预的签约阶段以及结果评估中作为临床辅助手段非常有用。
