36.1 PROBLEMATIC SEXUAL BEHAVIOR CBT: MODEL, RESEARCH, AND OUTCOMES

Abstract

Children with problematic sexual behavior increasingly are being identified by professionals, many of whom are unsure of how to respond or support these children and their families. Evidence-based treatment that is outpatient, short term, and involves children’s caregivers is highly effective at reducing or eliminating problematic sexual behaviors in children. This study provides long-term 10-year outcomes of children in an RCT of problematic sexual behavior-CBT and dynamic play therapy. The study included a comparison group of children with nonsexual behavior problems.
