Using problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations.~GLM conceptualized healthy sexuality as the natural outcome of success in achieving life goals. Some patients have difficulty changing their self-identity from that of sex offender to that of former sex-offender. The GLM principles are helpful in achieving this aim."
