Upon continuing my research on arsonists, I came across several articles that talked about the early life of arsonists. Many of the arsonists who's backgrounds were researched, showed early childhoods' characterized by abuse, ether physical or emotional. So when considering the best way to treat an arsonist, the back ground of the arsonist should be taken into account.
If in fact the arsonist was abuse and that is why he or she is setting fires, than the treatment plan for the arsonist should revolve around that abuse and should address the psychological and physical pain that they were and are going through.

Here is someone you might want to try to talk to: Janet Cusick Jost, RN, MS has been involved in burn care and education since 1977, working as a staff nurse and outreach education coordinator in two regional burn centers. She has been involved in fire safety and burn prevention education for the past two decades. In 1987 she was the first woman to be hired as a full-time firefighter / EMT-D with the Lincoln (NE) Fire Department where she worked for three years. Janet is also a burn survivor, having been critically burned in 1972. These combined experiences give her many different perspectives on fire safety, burn prevention and care, and survival. In 2004, Janet and her husband Gary Jost, MD, created Cusick Jost Consulting, LLC. This company provides education and presentations on a variety of topics, including youth firesetting assessment and intervention.
