„Therapeutic intervention with pedohebephiles: Responding to treatment needs and intervening with compassion“
Referent: Nicholas Blagden (University of Derby, United Kingdom)
People with a sexual interest in children face significant barriers to seeking and receiving treatment for their problematic sexual interest and their mental health needs. This presentation has three main aims (1) to outline and unpack recent research on the key treatment needs and experiences of pedohebephiles; (2) to outline key barriers for successful intervention and the importance of the therapeutic relationship; and (3) to outline how intervention can benefit from a compassion-focused approach. The presentation also focuses on the importance of attending to shame and self-criticism in understanding and working with the client group and will illustrate how capacities for compassion can help individuals lead pro-social non-harmful lives. Finally, the talk focuses on early evaluation of The Aurora Project (TAP) – a free compassion-focused therapeutic service for those with problematic sexual thoughts or behaviour. The presentation concludes by suggesting how compassion can be implemented into practice.
