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.
