Webinar Overview

This webinar explores motivation and goal-setting in working with people who have sexually abused. Research has shown that certain principles and techniques are more likely to produce positive outcomes with sexual abusers (e.g., Marshall, 2005). This webinar describes steps that professionals can take to explore and strengthen client motivation in treatment and offers ideas for getting some cases “un-stuck.” The webinar also includes a specific focus on the how and why of personal change.
