For each issue examined, contributors offer concrete directions for intervention.

"This book is like going to a conference and getting all the best presentations. . . . Models a nice concrete technique for use with a problem population." --Sandra K. Hewitt, Ph.D., Private Practice, Edina, Minnesota "This excellent short paperback contains well-written, well-referenced chapters by leading figures in the field of child abuse and neglect, covering an ambitious range of topics involving child survivors as well as children who sexually abuse other children. This small book is a timely and important addition to the sexual abuse literature, and will be of particular interest to those professionals working with children and young people who show sexually coercive or abusing behaviour towards other children." --Eileen Vizard in Young Minds Newsletter "The book is subtitled "treatment innovations" and this sets the tone for its whole approach. This is a readable and practical book written for clinicians, and is obviously based on much solid clinical experience. The chapter on ritual abuse is particularly good, being both readable and thought provoking. It is a very thorough examination of the difficulties which can arise in working with severely abused people, and tackles very realistically the potential risks for both client and therapist, when working with very damaged individuals. The thorny issues surrounding the validity of recovered memories are also tackled extremely well. Overall the book is an excellent review of current understanding and treatment of sexually abused children and adolescents. However, clinicians working with adult survivors of abuse will also find much that is useful in the book." --Carol Sellars in Clinical Psychology Forum

Download or read book Applied Research in Residential Treatment written by Gordon Northrup and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a much-needed handbook for residential treatment administrators and clinicians considering research projects. Applied Research in Residential Treatment urges that applied, not basic, research is appropriate for residential treatment centers (RTCs). Research can be helpful for clinical work and RTC operation, but is not effective unless properly designed. This book suggests appropriate topics for research projects, gives practical suggestions on design, and contains example research reports. There are many technical books on research design, but few, if any, dealing with research projects suitable for RTCs--until now. Applied Research in Residential Treatment begins with an overview of the place of research in RTCs, followed by chapters presenting a range of research studies--both successful and not so successful--as examples. Specifically, chapters discuss: hypothetico-deductive (quantitative) versus observational-inductive (qualitative) approaches to research and evaluation the disadvantages and difficulties in using outcome measures to study the effects of treatment choice of statistical tools, sampling techniques, and interviewing strategies in research design the inutility of large statistical studies in understanding the individual child or milieu Applied Research in Residential Treatment is a helpful guide for clinicians and administrators currently planning research programs. It is also an informative source for those who wish to do research in the future and would like to know more about what strategies to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on over 25 years of research, Child Sexual Abuse, Second Edition describes a premier, empirically supported treatment approach for children, adolescents, and non-offending parents/caregivers impacted by child sexual abuse. Developed to provide support and to alleviate symptoms and problem behaviors in children and adolescents, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for child sexual abuse incorporates treatment components that provide children and their caregivers with education and coping skills training, while simultaneously addressing the trauma. This book describes the nuts and bolts of treatment including trauma narrative development and processing activities that help to alleviate children's distress and feelings of shame associated with the abuse. Parents are also taught effective behavior management skills, and treatment often culminates with a focus on parent-child communication and enhancing safety and future development. This highly effective treatment model can be delivered in outpatient, school-based, residential, home, and/or group settings.
Download or read book Treating Child Sexual Abuse in Family Group and Clinical Settings written by Adele D. Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting real-life case studies of child sexual abuse in the Caribbean as a basis for discussing interventions and models of practice that are relevant for a wide range of cultural and social settings, this multi-disciplinary text will be of interest to scholars, professionals and practitioners alike. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how sexual abuse is never just a problem of the individual: structures of inequality and the intersection of the factors they give rise to help to explain why some children are more at risk of abuse than others. Furthermore, the sub-systems in which lives are lived can compound risk and vulnerability or alternatively, can be sources of support and change. This book draws on these ideas to discuss practice across a range of service users: children, adolescent girls, teenage mothers, children with learning disabilities, fathers, mothers, women who abuse, juvenile sex offenders and children in residential care. p>

Book excerpt: Treating adolescent sexual abusers in the context of the community is not a new phenomenon, but research suggests as states revise their way of providing residential treatment services to adolescents with sexual abusive behaviors, there is a need to better understand how and when to treat this difficult population with a community treatment model that ensures best practice approaches that provides tested and proven treatment modalities for adolescent sexual abusers who are provided community-based residential treatment services. This guide for treating adolescent sexual abusers addresses that question and explains the role of community-based residential treatment programs to ensure quality-tested and proven clinical interventions and the safety of others in the community. All the case studies that I have included in this guide for residential treatment with children and adolescents who sexually abuse have come from my twenty-year experience, research, and personal conversations with adolescent sexual abusers. In consideration of the privacy of those individuals, given names and identifying circumstances have been changed, thus such names used in the case studies does not represent an actual client I worked with during the past twenty years.
