A Group Based Psychoeducational Intervention
The purpose of the intervention is to increase the partners' ability to identify, understand, and manage the emotional, social, and practical stresses associated with being a partner of a CSAM offender; reduce the experience of isolation and shame through sharing experiences with people with similar experiences; and provide increased knowledge about sexual problems and treatment. Each session has a clear agenda with a defined theme and includes opportunities for reflection and the sharing of experiences. The session themes are: 1) Crisis and emotional impact, 2) Emotional responses over time, 3) Relationships and social impact, 4) Practical impact and sexual issues, 5) Summary and future perspectives.
