TRAUMA SKILLS SUMMER SCHOOL
A programme of 10 seminars for psychotherapists designed for the development of technical skills and theoretical knowledge in working with trauma related disorders.
MONDAY 5 JULY - FRIDAY 9 JULY 2010
ABOUT THIS EVENT

The aim of this 5-day programme is to present some of the most recent developments in the treatment of trauma related disorders. The 10 seminars, taught by several of the UK's leading specialists in the field, are designed for mental health practitioners interested in the following areas:
  • Diagnosis of trauma related disorders
  • Assessment of the patient's capacity for specific treatment approaches
  • Assessing the best theoretical model for treatment in particular cases
  • Distinguishing between different types of trauma, such as interpersonal abuse or critical incident
  • Understanding the range of effective therapeutic interventions for the treatment of post traumatic symptoms and disorders, for example sensorimotor, psychodynamic, body-based and mindfulness psychotherapies
  • Assimilating an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma into psychotherapeutic treatments, including the structure and chemistry of the brain, autonomic nervous and neuroendocrinal systems
  • Assessment of developmental issues in the patient's history and pacing treatment with sensitivity to these
  • Resourcing the patient

The programme will offer participants:
  • A working knowledge of the spectrum of trauma-related disorders
  • An introduction to the technical skills involved in each modality covered in the programme
  • An understanding of the psychobiological effects of single and multiple exposures to traumatic events
  • Skill in recognising signs of traumatic experience, assessment and diagnosis
  • Increased awareness of the range of therapeutic treatments available
