This course is designed to help mental health professionals navigate the complex ethical and clinical challenges of working with clients who are in therapy after committing violent acts. While this course will not be teaching clinicians how to assess dangerousness or manage crisis situations, we will explore the ethical, counter-transferential, and practical challenges of working with people who have histories of violence. We will be exploring a few categories of clients who commit physical and/or sexually violent acts: 1. Adolescents who have a history of violence in the community, including at school. 2. Adults who have a recent history of domestic abuse against family members. 3. Adults recently released from incarceration for committing a violent crime.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Identify Ethical Principles and Legal Considerations
  • Develop Effective Clinical Strategies
  • Navigate Therapeutic Challenges
