This training provides a foundational understanding of treatment for adults who have sexually abused. It is of interest to those who are newer to the field as well as those who wish to develop their existing skills further. It describes the components of effective treatment programming and delivery. It outlines steps for understanding clients in the moment and helping them to find their own motivations and strategies for making changes to their lives. It explores methods (for example, Motivational Interviewing and the Good Lives Model) that function as frameworks that practitioners can use to organize treatment. It explores the role of trauma-informed care and discusses how agencies and individual professionals can insure they are approaching treatment with a high degree of fidelity.
Topics include:
1) Components of effective treatment
2) Characteristics of effective professionals
3) The importance of approach goals
4) Motivational interviewing and enhancement
5) The core principles of the Good Lives Model as an organizing practice framework
6) Treatment processes and sequences
7) Trauma-informed care
8) Fidelity monitoring
As a result of this training, participants will be better able to:
1) Apply the “going upstream” method of finding motivations and strategies for making positive changes.
2) Differentiate among “approach goals” in treatment planning.
3) Describe ten “primary human goods” or “good life goals” that appear to be relevant to all human beings.
4) Explain how the pursuit of “primary human goods” or “good life goals” can serve as motivators for sexual abuse by adults.
5) Describe how early adversity can develop into risk factors for sexual abuse by adults.
6) Use scaling questions for assessing internal motivation to achieve good life goals.
