Speaker(s):
Presentation:
This presentation will consist of an overview of the empirically supported treatment models and theories associated with persons who have committed sexual abusive acts such as Good Lives Model, Risk Needs Responsivity Model, Relapse Prevention, Self-Regulation Model-Revised, Motivation-Facilitation Model of Sexual Offending, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. The presenters will explain the dynamic risk factors related to this population as well as the protective factors, or features that have been shown to help lower rate of recidivism. Further, characteristics of patterns regarding the sexual offense progression will be depicted within this presentation. Additionally, case examples will be illustrated to increase conceptualization of the offense motivations, goals, and behaviors. Finally, an emphasis of evidence based treatment strategies or tools will be exemplified to audience members.

- Explain the dynamic risk factors associated with sexual offending including the protective factors (or features shown to help lower recidivism rates)
