Guidelines Appendix: Practice Guidelines for Assessment, Treatment, and Intervention with Adolescents Who Have Engaged in Sexually Abusive Behavior
The 2017 appendix to the "ATSA Practice Guidelines for Assessment, Treatment, and Intervention with Adolescents Who Have Engaged in Sexually Abusive Behavior," finalized in October 2018, serves as a comprehensive research reference. This document provides a thorough overview of the studies, theories, and literature that underpin the development of the guidelines, enhancing the understanding of their recommendations and practice advice.
Organized into major content areas like foundational points, empirical framework, assessment, treatment interventions, special populations, and public policy, the appendix offers a curated list of research references. It does not aim to be exhaustive but rather focuses on key research that shapes each section of the practice guidelines. This approach provides clarity on the empirical basis for the guidelines, ensuring that practitioners and policymakers can appreciate the research-informed foundation of the recommendations.
The appendix highlights ATSA's commitment to evidence-based practice in addressing sexually abusive behaviors among adolescents. It's an essential resource for professionals seeking to align their practice with the latest research in this field.
