Summary
The following issues are discussed in the paper: problems of the BCS treatment from the perspective of the victim, perpetrators and therapists; goals and methods of BCS treatment exemplified by particular cases; the current status of therapeutic services in Poland. Although there has been a substantial improvement of relevant theoretical knowledge, nevertheless due to scarcity of specialists, facilities, and professional training courses, virtually neither perpetrators nor victims of the BCS can receive the help they need.
