SCWK 392 - Treating Childhood Sexual Abuse

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: Six hours/credits in psychology or sociology
This course will introduce the student to the many ways in which child sexual abuse affects a young child and family. Beginning with a brief historical overview of sexual abuse of children and our society’s response to it, we will examine theoretical models for understanding abuse. The course will address the ways in which sexual abuse impacts the development of infants, toddlers and adolescents, and will include a discussion on treatment approaches for social workers and other practitioners. Offered once annually.
