Building safer societies with compassion | David Prescott

Join me and my special guest David Prescott, LCSW, in an enlightening discussion about the evolution of compassionate approaches in sex offender treatment. Explore the integration of empathy and a therapeutic alliance in contemporary practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, feedback-informed treatment, and motivational interviewing. Delve into the complexities and challenges faced by therapists, including dealing with societal reactions, stigmatisation, and maintaining professional boundaries. The conversation also highlights the importance of continuous learning and self-improvement, with insights into using client feedback and the impact of community-driven efforts to end sexual abuse and violence through organisations like Safer Societies.TIME STAMPS:00:00 Welcome and Introduction to David Prescott01:49 Historical Approaches to Sex Offender Treatment04:05 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Its Evolution06:26 The Role of Empathy and Compassion in Therapy12:11 Challenges and Advances in Treatment Approaches18:41 Balancing Risk Assessment and Compassion26:23 Public Perception and Framing the Issue32:40 The Power of Empathy and Compassion33:11 Challenges in Working with Perpetrators and Survivors34:20 The Calling of Compassionate Work35:21 Integrating Motivational Interviewing39:11 Feedback Informed Treatment41:26 The Importance of Client Feedback50:26 Self-Care and Compassion Practices56:35 Safer Societies and Final ThoughtsTARGETED PLAYLIST LINK:Compassion in a T-Shirt: In SessionLINKS:David Prescott's Website:https://www.davidprescott.net/Safer Societies Website:https://safersociety.org/Feedback-Informed Treatment in Clinical Practice: Reaching for Excellence (Prescott, Maeschalck & Miller, 2017)https://www.amazon.com/Feedback-Informed-Treatment-Clinical-Practice-Excellence/dp/1433827743Say hi on social:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstansteindlTwitter: https://twitter.com/StanSteindlInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_stan_steindl/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-steindl-150a5264/Website: https://www.stansteindl.com/YouTube Video URL: https://youtu.be/6jtU6wPeuL0*Affiliate Disclaimer:Note this description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.
