Sociocultural factors in the assessment and treatment of individuals who sexually offend are important to examine. Awareness of implicit biases and the cultural competence of the therapist are essential in ethical treatment. Cultural humility is the ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is other-oriented in relation to aspects of cultural identity that are more important to the client. Participants will become informed of cultural considerations in the assessment and treatment. This workshop will assist participants in identifying cultural factors (i.e., racial/ethnicity, language, religion, gender/gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability) during assessment to better inform treatment and risk management recommendations.
Topics to be discussed:
1) Introduction, background information, and overview of terminology
2) Implicit biases that prevent acquisition of knowledge on becoming a culturally humble professional.
3) Sociocultural factors influencing individuals who commit sexual and other violent crimes.
4) Diversity considerations in assessment and treatment processes
5) Considerations in the use of risk assessment methodology with diverse populations.
6) Considerations in the use of risk assessment methodology with diverse populations.
7) How culture affects the context of assessment and treatment and the settings in which they occur
8) Identifying common racial micro-aggressions
