Research shows that individuals who sexually offend have higher levels of adverse childhood experiences than either the general population or other criminal populations. Often, these experiences lead to challenges in regulating emotion, and in forming intimate relationships, healthy sexual attitudes and beliefs, and prosocial attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. These challenges can contribute to sex offending as well as problems with repetitive, compulsive sexual behavior.
This training examines how the Adaptive Information Processing mechanism inherent in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can help clients to manage elements that contributed to their offending. It introduces the Offense Driver Model (ODM), which is derived from five extant models in the sex offending literature. The ODM provides a systematic way to conceptualize and identify relevant treatment targets. This model considers emotions/affect, personality features, reactive dynamics, unconscious elements, and cognitions that can be activated when clients are exposed to environmental or situational cues.
Case examples will illustrate the process of identifying offense-driving treatment targets for resolution.
Training topics include:
1) Attachment styles and their role in problematic sexual behaviors.
2) Pathways to hypersexuality.
3) Offense Driver Model as a way to clarify dynamic risk factors.
4) Overview of Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and how it can address offense drivers.
As a result of participating in this training, attendees will be better able to:
1) Describe why assessing a client’s attachment style is foundational to effective case conceptualization for those who have caused sexual harm.
2) Define the Offense Driver Model.
3) Explain the function of Adaptive Information Processing in the EMDR therapy process.
4) Explain the offense driver parallel process when applying therapeutic interventions.
5) Utilize case conceptualization and treatment planning to address etiological, root causes.
