The book also discusses how established cognitive assessment methods such as the attentional blink and the startle probe reflex can be adapted for use with sex offenders. It therefore brings together in one volume all the latest research and practice in this area, along with critical commentary on the effectiveness of each method.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eDavid Thornton\u003c\/b\u003e is the treatment director for Wisconsin’s program for sexually violent persons, and an Adjunct Professor in the department of Clinical Psychology at the University of Bergen, Norway.
