PSB-CBT™: What and Why

Problematic Sexual Behavior - Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy™ (PSB-CBT™) is an evidence-based treatment model for children and adolescents ages 3-18 who have engaged in problematic sexual behavior (PSB). Typically, children participate in a treatment group based on their age (preschool, school-age, or adolescent) while parents participate in a concurrent caregiver group. The model may also be adapted for individual (family) therapy.
PSB-CBT™ has been successfully delivered in a variety of community, residential, and confined settings, including outpatient clinics, schools, homes, group homes, inpatient psychiatric facilities, and juvenile justice facilities. PSB-CBT™ can be offered through a variety of service delivery models, including outpatient, enhanced outpatient, intensive in-home, day treatment, and residential psychiatric services.
Maximum benefits are seen when the youth’s primary caregiver is actively involved in treatment. The number of treatment sessions and length of PSB-CBT™ treatment are dependent on the age of the child or adolescent.
