Do you get caught in the cognitive distortion thinking trap with batterers?
This teleseminar helps you know how to identify the 15 types of cognitive distortions.
Are you able to connect the specific type of cognitive distortion with statements from clients?
Cognitive distortions such as, “I just wanted her to listen to me” or “I only pushed her”, are commonly used by batterers to justify their behavior. You will discover interventions through interactive role plays to help you apply interventions to distorted thinking patterns.
Whether you are a treatment provider, victim advocate, attorney, or professional working with batterers, knowing how to effectively confront cognitive distortions helps you move your client to reality-based thinking.

The six criminogenic needs are addressed in various teleseminars in the Virtual Training Center.
