Dr. Amanda Fanniff, Associate Professor at PAU, will be co-chairing the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA)’s Annual Research and Treatment Conference in Kansas City from October 25th to 28th, Kansas City. Dr. Fanniff’s research primarily focuses on developmental considerations in the assessment and treatment of juvenile offenders. One of her lines of research focuses on juveniles adjudicated for sexual offenses, including the study of developmentally appropriate assessment and the identification of clinically-relevant subtypes of offenders. She is also engaged in research on sexual coercion in college student populations.
ATSA’s mission is to prevent sexual abuse through effective asessment, treatment, and management of individuals at risk to sexually abuse and to collaborate on comprehensive prevention strategies – all informed by sound research and education. The upcoming conference will offer symposia, workshop presentations, poster sessions, discussion groups, and advanced clinics relating to issues in both victim and perpetrator research and treatment. All sessions, with the exception of posters, have been approved for Continuing Education credits. Each presentation will provide information and training based on cutting edge research development and clinical application. Learn more about this conference.
