BROKEN BOUNDARIES 2010 CONFERENCE
Child & Adolescent Sexual Abuse Victims and Sex Offenders:
A Comprehensive Conference on Prevention, Intervention & Treatment
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A1)  "What Really Works in Sex Offender Treatment and What Really Doesn't"  by: Anna Salter Ph.D.
This workshop will examine the efficacy of treatment overall and will also examine which treatment components are supported by empirical evidence.  New research suggests that a number of commonly used treatment components are not criminogenic, i.e., changing these treatment targets will not reduce recidivism.  Deviant arousal control, antisocial attitudes, dysregulation, intimacy deficits, psychological problems, family problems, empathy, social skills, sexually abused as a child, denial and other commonly targeted treatment variables will be examined in the light of the evidence for and against their inclusion in treatment. 
 
A2)  "Why Some Bounce Back and Some Never Do: Resilience in Those Who Experience Childhood Abuse"  by: Pat Stanislaski
This workshop will examine sources of resilience in children, responses and conditions that foster resilience and the relationship between protective factors and resilient children. 
 
A3)  "Pet Assisted Therapy with the Traumatized Child"  by: Gary Cournoyer, LICSW & Jeanne Bazelak, LICSW
This workshop will provide an overview of Pet Assisted Therapy and how it is utilized in a variety of settings. They will look at what current research says about PAT and how it has been shown to be successful in working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.
 
A4)  "Clinical Uses of EMDR with Children: An Introduction and Overview"  by: David Medeiros, LICSW
This workshop will provide an in-depth introduction and framework for the developmentally appropriate use of EMDR with children. Case examples will be discussed in an effort to bridge the gap from theoretical to the practical use of its principles and procedures.
