CONFERENCE AGENDATuesday, October 20, 202010:00 a.m. ESTPresident’s WelcomeRebecca Jackson, PhD SOCCPN President, Director SVP Clinical Programs Wellpath Recovery Solutions10:15 – 11:15 a.m. ESTPlenary SessionCognitive Behavioral Case Formulation: Ways to Increase the Potency of Evaluation and TreatmentRichard Keith Ramsey, MS, LPC, ATSAF, Director, Special Projects, Division of Forensic Services, Office of Mental Health, Marcy, NYAbstract: One of the strengths of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the body of outcome data that supports its efficacy. Research examining CBT individualized treatment versus standardized treatment protocols suggests that individualized treatment is usually superior to standardized treatment protocols, especially in the treatment of complex conditions and cases. Individualized treatment approaches are guided by an individualized case formulation. Cognitive Behavioral (CB) Case Formulation has been shown to add potency to individualized treatment and is associated with its superior effectiveness. CB Case Formulation offers many advantages in the treatment of men who committed sexual offenses by increasing the potency of evaluation and treatment. Given the multiple problems and co-morbidity issues of most men that committed sexual offenses, especially those with high risk to recidivate, a CB Case Formulation approach is likely more effective than standardized treatment approaches that target a single identified problem or that use a sequential approach to problems. This presentation describes CB Case Formulation and demonstrates how clinicians can use it for more effective and potent evaluation and treatment.Learning Objectives: This session is designed to help you:Identify the advantages of using CB Case Formulation rather than a standardized treatment protocol.Describe the components of CB Case Formulatuion and how they are used for evaluation, treatment planning and treatment.Explain how other treatment models can contribute to individualized case formulation.11:15 a.m. ESTBreak*11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. ESTPlenary SessionThe Role of Condition Monitoring Agents in the Management of Conditionally Released Individuals: A Multi-State BriefingBrandon Duncan, MA, LMHC, Civil Commitment Program Manager, Washington State Department of Corrections; Dominic Winter, BA, Corrections Specialist, Washington State Department of Corrections; Marcus Miller, BA, Community Corrections Specialist, Civil Commitment Unit, Washington State Department of Corrections; Steve Bryant, Executive Director, Illinois Safety 1st Conditional Release Program; Chris Lobanov-Rostovosky, MSW, LCSW, Program Director, Office of Domestic Violence and Sex Offender Management, Colorado Division of Criminal Justice; Scott Halvorson, BA, Reintegration Director, Minnesota Sex Offender ProgramAbstract: Across the nation there are varying programs wherein a monitoring entity is assigned to supervise conditions for individuals determined to be eligible for condtional release into the community from some form of total confinement. The monitoring element is considered a measure to ensure the safety of the community while offering individuals opportunity for re-integration/transition.For varying reasons, condition monitors have not intentionally made or been offered opportunity for a targeted national focus on their specific and unique work. This is a proposal for a panel comprised exclusively of individuals who either supervise staff who monitor, or personally monitor the conditions of releases. This panel has compared their state monitoring program’s role, scope, protocol, legal governance, clinical anchors, jurisdiction, and identified common barriers. The panel then discussed promising innovations to address these barriers. We intend to offer a combination of brief education regarding the major themes of our findings and the opportunity for participants to engage in a unique dialog to be part of further innovations in condition monitoring practices. The goal is to optimize programs for the safety of the community and the best interest of the consumer.Learning Objectives: This session is designed to help you:Name at least one major difference and one commonality in each state’s condition monitor role and duties. List three common barriers and at least one proposed or tested solution for each.Name the evidence-based principle(s) that guide the monitor.Describe what a tier approach/protective factor strategy looks like.List at least one major difference and one commonality in each state’s program (i.e., multidisciplinary, multiple agencies or one, private vs. public, court order driven vs. corrections driven).1:00 p.m. ESTLunch Break*2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ESTPlenary Session2020 Annual Survey of Sex Offender Civil Commitment ProgramsJennifer Schneider, PhD, Special Treatment Unit, New Jersey Department of Health; Rebecca Jackson, PhD, Director SVP Clinical Programs, Wellpath Recovery Solutions; Gina Ambroziak, BS, Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center; Deirdre D’Orazio, PhD, California Department of State Hospitals; Naomi Freeman, PhD, Division of Forensic Services, New York State Office of Mental Health; Jannine Hèbert, MA, LP, Minnesota Sex Offender ProgramAbstract: This session presents the results of the SOCCPN annual survey administed by SVP programs in the United States. The survey presents the findings from responding jurisdictions with SVP programs in the areas of facility operations, treatment, and community supervision of conditionally released SVPs. The presenters compare this year’s findings to those of previous years when the survey was administered. Trends and future directions of SVP program management and treatment are discussed.Learning Objectives: This session is designed to help you:Analyze treatment progress measures utilized with SVP populations.Explain barriers to conditional release for SVP pare approaches to conditional release of SVPs across civil commitment programs.3:00 p.m. ESTBreak*3:15 – 4:15 p.m. ESTOptimizing Management of Hypersexuality and Sexual Preoccupation by the Combined Use of Medications and Behavioral TechniquesElizabeth Griffin, MA, LMFT, Griffin Counseling and Consulting; Angeline Stanislaus, MD, Chief Medical Officer-Adult Services, Missouri Department of Mental HealthAbstract: Sexual preoccupation and hypersexual behaviors are risk factors associated with sexual recidivism. Hence, the adequate treatment of this risk factor, when present, is an important component of sex offender treatment. Several psychotherapeutic and behavioral techniques have been shown to be valuable in managing hypersexuality. Medications in combination with psychotherapeutic techniques appear to produce better outcome with management of this risk factor, along with maintaining sustainability. In this session the following will be addressed:Classes of medications that have been proven to affect male sexual arousal and sexual preoccupation/ hypersexual behaviorsMechanism of action of the various classes of medications in decreasing male sexual preoccupation/ hypersexual behaviorsCognitive Behavioral techniques that are beneficial in decreasing hypersexual behaviorsHow to integrate therapy and medications for optimal management of sexual preoccupation and hypersexual behaviors Learning Objectives: This session is designed to help you:Understand the role of sex hormones and neurotransmitters in maintaining sexual arousal. Understand the role of medications in managing sexual preoccupation and hypersexual behaviors.Learn the mechanism of action of the various classes of medications in decreasing male sexual preoccupation/ hypersexual behaviors.Develop skills in using treatment interventions including cognitive behavioral techniques to decrease hypersexual behaviors.Learn to integrate psychotherapeutic interventions and medications for optimal management of sexual preoccupation and hypersexual behaviors. 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. ESTBridging the Gap: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Treatment for Civilly Committed Sex OffendersJessica Marsh, Deputy Director, Texas Civil Commitment Office; Marsha McLane, Executive Director, Texas Civil Commitment Office; Renee Hinojosa, Rehabilitation Programs Division Director, Texas Department of Criminal JusticeAbstract: In Texas, more than 500 sexually violent predators (SVPs) have been civilly committed to receive intensive supervision and treatment following the completion of their prison sentences. The Texas SVP statute does not utilize a detainee system. Therefore, SVPs are civilly committed while still serving their prison sentences and transfer to the civil commitment progarm upon release from prison. In order to masimize the efficient use of state resources, the Texas Civil Commitment Office (TCCO) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) have worked together to develop a multidisciplinary continuity of care program. Through this program, TCCCO and TDCJ have worked together to develop an in-prison treatment program that mirrors the beginning phases of the sex offender treatment program provided by TCCO at its secured treatment facility. This allows SVPs to begin their treatment before being released from prison and to prepare to enter more advanced phases of treatment upon release to TCCO. Learning Objectives: This session is designed to help you:Understand Texas’ multidisciplinary approach.Identify the benefits of multidisciplinary continuity of care.List possible opportunities for similar programs in other states.* Not eligible for CE credit. ................
