Episode 10: Trauma-focused therapy for adults, when It’s Used?
Anyone who has experienced a single or repeated experience of sexual (http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/sex), physical, or mental abuse or who has developed post-traumatic (http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/trauma) symptoms, depression (http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/depression), or anxiety (http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/anxiety) as a result of the loss of a loved one or exposure to violence in the home or community can benefit from TF-CBT. If a child or adolescent also exhibits serious behavioral, substance-abuse, or suicidal (http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/suicide)-ideation problems, other forms of treatment, such as dialectical behavior therapy, may be more appropriate as an initial intervention and can be followed up with a trauma-sensitive approach.
WARNING:
Look for a licensed mental health professional with specialized training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as further training and supervised experience in trauma-focused therapy. In addition to these credentials, it is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable working.

Episode 9: Is pedophilia a sexual orientation or a mental disorder?
Pedophilia can sometimes be a taboo topic but had become a topic of increased interest, awareness, and concern for both the medical community and the public at large. Increased media exposure, new sexual offender disclosure laws, websites that list the names and addresses of convicted sexual offenders, politicians taking a “get tough” stance on sexual offenders, and increased investigations of sexual acts with children have increased public awareness about pedophilia.

Episode 8: Is the Nordic Model the best way to eradicate for good sex trafficking?
The Nordic Model approach to prostitution, also known as The Sex Buyer Law, decriminalizes all those who are prostituted, provides support services to help them exit, and makes buying people for sex a criminal offence, in order to reduce the demand that drives sex trafficking. This approach has now been adopted in Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Canada and many other countries.
So, does it works? What are the pros and cons of it? Had anything changed in the countries who adopted it? These are some of the questions we'll be answering in this episode.

Episode 3: Pornography’s Impact on Society
Studies finds that pornography is not simply a harmless endeavor that doesn’t affect anyone else. It actually changes the brain makeup of the individual looking at it. Pornography has a numbing effect on the individual, causing him or her to see others in a less empathetic manner. In fact, the individual comes to see others as merely objects, something to please him or her. Engaging in viewing pornography, either willingly or unwillingly, eventually leads one to inferior relationships with others, which is damaging to the well-being of that person and to others who know him.
