He also has helped develop and supervise a treatment program for adolescents who had sexually offended and a program for adults who had sexually offended.
This presentation will focus on treating victims of violence and will begin by examining some of the distorted beliefs and cognitive distortions of the perpetrators of violence and see how this then fits into treatment of their victims. Methods of intervention for victims of violence will be discussed and explored including relaxation skills, emotional expression, cognitive skills, attributional styles, and gradual and prolonged exposure techniques.
1. Participants will identify the relationship between perpetrators' cognitive distortions and the impact on the victim
2. Participants will identify modes of intervention in working with victims of violence.
