Pathways: A Guide Workbook for Youth Beginning Treatment

Więcej o książce

This workbook uses text, exercises, and illustrations to make clients aware of the thinking and feelings that are part of their sexual behavior problems. It presents the assault cycle and relapse prevention techniques as tools for understanding and prevention, and helps clients look at the maintenance behaviors that keep them cycling through anger, boredom, and other feelings that feed their cycles. Education toward appropriate behavior and basic sexuality information helps clients to redress their social deficits. Victim empathy issues are addressed in three chapters, including an empathy scrapbook homework assignment, clarification, and restitution. The text leads the client toward a new life as a responsible member of his or her own sexual abuse prevention and safety team, a person who will have no more victims. By signing a contract with significant support people, clients recognize and formalize a list of people who can help them continue a life that includes accountability for their actions.
