Assessing and Treating Women Who Perpetrate Sexually Motivated Offenses
The fields of assessing and treating women who have committed sexually motivated offenses continue to grow and evolve. The extant research literature provides an empirical basis for assessing women from a gendered perspective. This perspective is a person-centered, strength-based approach that takes into consideration how gender affects patterns of offending for women. When viewed from this perspective, women who perpetrate sexually motivated offenses require risk assessment and treatment approaches that differ from approaches used with their male counterparts. This workshop provides empirically supported guidance related to assessing and treating women who have committed sexually motivated offenses.
Dawn Pflugradt, PsyD, LP, LCSW and Bradley P. Allen, PhD, JD—two of the leading experts in this field— developed this training to highlight key research findings and provide current insights and best practices based on their decades of experience working with women who have sexually abused.
