 Profile of a Pedophile: Identifying Child Sex Predators in Clinical Practice

 

Can you identify a pedophile in your client's life?

Sometimes it's difficult to recognize the cause of abuse when you encounter a child who is traumatized - especially when it's someone close to them.

It could be the neighbor. The friend. The family member. A stranger.

The abuse perpetrated by an offender can cause your young client to experience trauma, behavior disorders and much more that extends far beyond childhood. Recognizing a pedophile will be the difference between extended abuse and a healthy future for the child, especially when the offender is still in their life.

Join Dr. Sarah Shelton as she divulges her strategies to recognize a pedophile in the life of the child you're treating and provide clinical expertise on what to recommend for the pedophile. Feel confident in your ability to protect the children in your care and advise treatment for the offender in this 2-hour video.
