'''Maximum benefit''' is a condition under which a [[sex offender]] has been clinically determined to have reached the greatest degree of progress likely to be possible, falling short of meeting criteria for [[successful completion of sex offender treatment]]. This status reflects a combination of good effort on the offender's part AND the presence of one or more factors interfering with further progress, such as limited cognitive capacity, dementia (or other neurological impairment), major mental illness ([[schizophrenia]], [[bipolar disorder]], etc.), or severe [[personality disorder]]. This condition also recognizes that it is highly unlikely that any further clinical intervention will provide additional improvement in the offender's functioning and/or decrease in the offender's risk for re-offending.<ref>http://corrections.utah.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=29&Itemid=300</ref>
