HWC 569 - Child and Adult Sexual Violence: Acute and Long-term Sequelae
This course focuses on the health and mental health issues presented by individuals who have experienced sexual violence. The different types of sexual violence that occur across the lifespan will be reviewed as well as treatment modalities designed to address these issues. Treatment dynamics such as client safety; stabilization; emphasis on strengths-based treatments that assist clients in regaining a sense of control; and a strong therapeutic alliance are presented. The importance of phase-oriented treatment and post-traumatic growth (PTG) will be reviewed. Countertransferential dynamics and clinician self-care will also be presented.
