Treating non-offending individuals who have a sexual interest in children is gaining attention as a necessary approach in the prevention of child sexual abuse. To date, most treatment for individuals who have pedophilic and/or hebephilic interests happens only after abuse has occurred. With the increased efforts at using treatment to help people prevent acting on their interest has come ethical dilemmas regarding mandatory laws.
This workshop reviews what professionals need to know about individuals with pedophilia and/or hebephilia and who are not justice-involved. It examines their treatment needs and barriers to accessing services, including stigma by clinicians. The workshop discusses these topics in light of known risk factors for child sexual abuse and sexual recidivism as relevant treatment targets. The workshop focuses on strategies for engagement and explores several case examples of non-justice involved people with pedophilia and/or hebephilia seeking therapy. The workshop concludes with practical recommendations for clinical work with this client population (in light of the possible ethical dilemmas) and how this intersects with the various legal requirements and evidence-based considerations.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
1) Distinguish between pedophilia and hebephilia
2) Distinguish between paraphilias and paraphilic disorders
3) Explain the basic components of mandatory reporting laws and how these laws can differ from one region to the next
4) Summarize the ethical challenges associated with working with non-justice involved individuals with pedophilia and/or hebephilia
5) Evaluate the need for mandatory reporting based on case vignettes
6) Identify approaches and processes to address the ethical and legal requirements in working with non-justice involved individuals with pedophilia and/or hebephilia
