An Additional Note This course discusses prospective therapeutic interventions that have been shown to be effective with individuals who may be at risk for extremist violence. Special attention should be paid to how power dynamics may play out in therapy with this population, and the risks and benefits of therapy. Differences and/or similarities between therapist and client and/or individual factors may result in a treatment failure or loss of control by either or both people (therapist and/or client). Therapists are encouraged to consider the concept of informed consent, including but not limited to the appropriateness of referring out, educating the client that they can choose a therapist of the same or differing characteristics if they prefer, etc.
