Once again ATSA’s annual conference will offer unequaled opportunities
for learning, professional growth, networking and the dissemination of the latest research
findings with regard to the prevention of sexual abuse through effective interventions with
identified and potential abusers.
The 2010 conference will feature the field’s top researchers and
practitioners providing state-of-the-art knowledge to increase public safety by improving the assessment,
treatment, and management of sexual abusers.
For this year’s conference theme “Transformation,” we invite
submissions that highlight the promotion of change in the clients we work with,
empirical advancements
in our field and innovations in system and policy responses to building safer communities.
The conference committee especially invites presentations that focus
on:
- Models providing frameworks for promoting change
- Epidemiology of sexual abuse and implications for treatment and prevention
- The application of research to practice
- Ethical issues in research, treatment and risk management protocols
- Best practices and innovations to assessment, treatment and risk management
- Professional development and wellness

We encourage submissions from students and new professionals in the field.
