Treatment Philosophy

STAT / Clinical Associates believes that treatment should combine traditional methods of containment with principles of risk, needs, and responsivity. The philosophy that underlies our approach is a combination of risk management and Good Lives. STAT utilizes evidence-based practices in all aspects of the program and relies on information contained in The Comprehensive Assessment Protocol: A Systemwide Review of Adult and Juvenile Sex Offender Management Strategies (CSOM, 2007) for program structure and to ensure program integrity. The Comprehensive Assessment Protocol (CAP) provides a framework for facility-based and community-based sex offender evaluations, treatment, and supervision. 

Research has indicated that an evidence-based, positive approach to treatment leads to higher offender responsivity and lower recidivism. As treatment has continued to evolve from a standardized and stagnant relapse prevention to a more individualized and empowering model, so has the research toward evidence-based practices. Research has indicated that relapse prevention has little empirical support, and has been replaced by treatment programs that have begun to focus on different pathways to offending with a more empathic, and collaborative approach to treatment. Therapists who display empathy, warmth, and directiveness can have significant positive influence on offenders in treatment.

Sex offender treatment must incorporate a focus on reducing criminogenic needs and teaching individuals how to achieve their goals in heathy, pro-social ways. To that end, the primary treatment targets include a focus on: emotion regulation, impulse-control, enhancing interpersonal skills and relationships, increasing coping skills and support systems, and understanding and managing deviant sexual arousal.
