Program Description

  • Assessment

    Sexual behavior problems require specialized assessments to identify contributing factors within the child and within the family. After taking this course, you will have a clear idea of what assessments are necessary and how to best interpret them within the context of sexualized behavior problems. Assessments covered include intake assessment, standardized assessments, and additional structured assessments.

  • Intervention

    Interventions will be presented that include establishing safety, emotion identification & appropriate expression, correcting cognitive distortions, increased awareness of problematic behavior, and maintaining boundaries. Interventions for working with both children and caregivers will be presented.

  • Implementation

    Special emphasis on the implementation of interventions to the family system and impact on attachment will be provided. This includes the potential difficulties in supporting parents, intergenerational trauma, and modifications of assessments and interventions for special populations.
