PHILOSOPHY
The
basic principles of our approach derive
from social learning theory and we are guided
by a framework based on cognitive behavioural
and relapse prevention treatment approaches.
Our approach is constantly evolving based
on current research findings and our clinical
experience. We believe all our clients can
change and that such change is best facilitated
by treating them respectfully. We distinguish
our clients’ actions from themselves as
persons and we emphasize their strengths
as well as targeting their deficits.
RESEARCH
Our primary goal is to assist our clients
to develop the skills, attitudes and thinking
capacities to meet their needs in prosocial
ways so they can enjoy productive and happy
lives, and so they will not longer abuse
innocent citizens.
In
order to make our program maximally effective
we engage in ongoing research having several
projects in progress at any one time. Liam
Marshall is our Research Coordinator.
