Description
Counselling Partners and Relatives of Individuals who Have Sexually Offended: A Strengths-Focused Eclectic Approach Working with partners and relatives of sex offenders can be emotionally challenging for counsellors. This book provides a strengths-focused, eclectic approach to help practitioners navigate these complex cases. Drawing on real-life case studies and supervision sessions, Dr Andrew Smith explores ways to work with clients who have been convicted of internet or contact sexual offences against children. The book covers both individual and family therapy, including a structured programme of therapeutic safeguarding work and suggestions for drawing up safety plans. This approach acknowledges the ongoing responsibility of some partners and relatives for children and the need to balance therapeutic work with practical safety measures. By reading this book, counsellors and practitioners can gain a deeper understanding of how to work with this client group, helping them to develop effective strategies for supporting partners and relatives in their care.
