How to approach sexual attraction to children in therapeutic work? A workshop seminar
Hovedinnhold
The Department of Health Promotion and Development and the Department of Clinical Psychology offer a workshop for mental health experts who seek to expand their expertise in working with clients who are sexually attracted to children. The seminar will cover a range of topics and practical exercises, including the assessment of sexual attraction to children and offending risk, common treatment needs and goals, interventions to increase client well-being and reduce offending risk, and laws and regulations that guide clinical practice with this group.
Participants will learn from experienced psychologists and researchers from Norway and Canada and leave with an evidence-based understanding of how to support their clients in navigating challenges and to change their lives for the better.
