Native American-Specific Offender Treatment: a Proposed Treatment Guide
Domestic violence is a phenomenon that occurs in all cultures, but for Native Americans it wasn’t always that way. The cultural and historical context in which DV has become a serious public safety issue in Native communities is distinct from the general population in ways that can inform our clinical decisions and treatment planning. In this presentation these contextual and cultural differences will be described to help attendees make important adaptations to their current treatment practices when working with Native American DV offenders. A manual for the treatment of these clients was developed as part of the presenter’s doctoral applied research project and will be presented as an example of culture and trauma-informed treatment curriculum with evidence-based interventions and traditional healing practices.
