JAN WILLEM VAN DEN BERG
Jan Willem van den Berg is psychotherapeut/gezondheidszorgpsycholoog/cognitief gedragstherapeut VGCt® op de afdeling psychotherapie van de Van der Hoeven Kliniek. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de behandeling en risicotaxatie van zedendelinquenten. Over dit onderwerp geeft hij lezingen, trainingen en publiceert hij in wetenschappelijke tijdschriften. Met collega’s vertaalde en implementeerde hij de Stable-2007, een instrument dat de dynamische risicofactoren van zedendelinquenten in kaart brengt. Zijn lopende promotie onderzoek richt zich op de behandeling van dynamische risicofactoren bij zedendelinquenten. Jan Willem van de Berg is lid van de Amerikaanse Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) en lid van ATSA’s internationale public policy comité.
Behandeling van zedendelinquenten ziet Jan Willem als het middel om seksuele recidive – en dus slachtoffers – te voorkomen. Zijn mening: verminder de kans op (seksuele) recidive bij zoveel mogelijk plegers door zo kort en efficiënt mogelijk te behandelen. Laat hierbij het recidive risico bepalend zijn in de hoeveelheid behandeling die aangeboden wordt.
