Aftercare Group Therapy
We offer an aftercare/support group for adult males who acknowledge a sexual disorder and have completed a sexual treatment program. Before you can participate in group therapy, the client will have to be assessed for suitability. The group offers a safe, confidential and judgment-free place to discuss problems that are arising in their lives (not exclusive to sexual issues).

Phallometric or Sexual Preference Testing
There are various psychophysiological assessments (phallometry, viewing time, polygraph) that are commonly used in corroborating client self-report and/or monitoring treatment compliance and progress. Generally, phallometry is recognized as one of the best objective quantifiable measure of male sexual arousal.
In compliance with the ethical standards by The Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA), I need to have informed consent from clients before using psychophysiological assessments. The result of the psychophysiological assessment is not to be used as the sole criterion for estimating client risk of engaging in sexually abusive behaviour, making a recommendation to release or not release clients to the community or deciding that clients have completed a treatment program. Those who conduct psychophysiological assessments need to be trained and certified for assessment/treatment purposes and adhere to the applicable standards or guidelines of their profession.
Sexual arousal patterns are measured using the PrefTest Professional Suite by Limestone Technologies. The plethysmograph component records changes of penile circumference (diameter) by using a mercury-in-rubber gauge, which is attached to the shaft of the penis. There are other components that are used for countermeasure detection. There are two types of phallometric tests: Object Preference and Activity Preference Testing.
Polygraph Examination
Types of Polygraphic Examinations:
- Event Specific Issue Examination: is an examination regarding a specific behaviour; allegation or event. This examination is generally implemented at the onset of, during, or at the end of the treatment process.
- Sexual History Examination: is a thorough examination of a client’s sexual history. The polygraph examination is usually included as a part of a comprehensive psychosexual evaluation.
- Maintenance/Monitoring Examination: The maintenance examination can be used to help client’s maintain treatment compliance, sexual disclosures, infidelity, etc.
