Problematic Sexual Behavior – Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy™, Adolescent (PSB-CBT-A)
Problematic Sexual Behavior – Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy™ (PSB-CBT™) Adolescent is an evidence-based model for children who have exhibited problematic sexual behavior and their caregiver(s). PSB-CBT™ Adolescent can be delivered in either a group-therapy format or a family-therapy format.
PSB-CBT™ Adolescent treatment targets problematic sexual behavior in children, as well as traumatic stress and behavioral symptoms. Treatment requires full participation of at least one caregiver and focuses on educating about healthy sexual behaviors, developing coping skills, and relationship-building between caregivers and youth.
PSB-CBT™ Adolescent treatment time is approximately 9 – 12 months in length. For the group-therapy format, PSB-CBT™ is delivered with client and caregiver sessions running concurrently with regular conjoint sessions. For the family therapy format, sessions vary in design (e.g., caregiver alone, child alone, and the family together). Both the group and family modalities can be delivered virtually.
Who Should Apply for PSB-CBT™-A Learning Collaboratives?
Agencies who succeed with implementing PSB-CBTTM-A tend to share the following characteristics:
- Existing community relationships with Juvenile Justice or similar organizations
- Previous success implementing evidence-based therapies
- Previous success with caregiver participation in treatment
- Regularly receiving referrals for problematic sexual behaviors (PSB), and/or confidence in your ability to identify appropriate referral sources
- Experience administering clinical measures or surveys (or appropriate clinical supervision for this task)
For the group-therapy format, two clinicians run the caregiver group and two clinicians run the child group, so 4 clinicians are required on your agency team, as well as a clinical supervisor and a senior leader.
For the family-therapy format, individual clinicians provide the PSB-CBTTM-A treatment, but we recommend a minimum of 2 clinicians to train in the family modality from each agency, as well as a clinical supervisor and a senior leader.
The senior leader should be someone whose position and skills enable them to be a a champion and problem-solver for PSB-CBT™. There is a separate Senior Leader track to support this (offered free of charge).
PSB-CBT™-A Cohort #4 is sponsored by Healthy Blue Care Together: Clinicians within the Healthy Blue Care Together Network are encouraged to apply and if eligible will receive FREE tuition.
