Youth with Sexual Behavior Problems

Youth with Sexual Behavior Problems

There are many workbooks for young people in treatment for sexual behavior problems. What makes this workbook different is that it is also for caregivers of such youths. It is intended to be used by the clinician with both the young client and his or her caregiver. This can be an effective approach for therapists working with youth who have acted out in minor ways and who are not in need of more intensive care. The workbook may also be useful with those who have used technology in sexually problematic ways, youths with different types of developmental or social delays, and youths with characteristics on the autism spectrum, to name a few. Chapters cover topics that have been identified in research to be important when working with these clients. This approach is designed to be short-term and flexible, in order to balance the needs and limitations of both families and treatment providers.
