Principle Based Intervention with those who Perpetrate (TF)

The fundamental attitude governing perpetration is markedly dominated by thinking errors that have been adopted in a social context promoting behaviors that reinforce the attitudinal paradigm. When thinking errors predominate the attitudinal paradigm, the ability to make informed decisions is tainted in the direction of entitlement, which is exemplified through coercion, disregard, and disrespect. It is posited that for behavior to change and become an integral part of life, intervention must incorporate an alternative perspective that enhances insight, facilitates positive judgement and encourages informed decision making. The mere recognition of thinking errors and attempts to alter behavior without giving those who perpetrate something to replace the thinking errors, is insufficient for long-term alteration of attitude and associated behavior. The intent of the presentation is on helping participants adopt a socially appropriate interpersonal attitude that counteracts interpersonal violence, and will consist of a theoretical discussion of the integration of principle based decision making with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, all while involving participants in the process of application.

  • Participants will be able to use principles to help those who perpetrate to: 1) discern when thinking errors predominate their reasoning
  • 2) reconsider
  • 3) chose a course behavior that is principle consistent.
