Assessment and Treatment of Trauma 2.0

Assessment and Treatment of Trauma 2.0: PTSD, Complex Trauma, and Dissociative Identity Disorder 

Summary 

Assessment and Treatment of Trauma 2.0 is intended for professional counselors that either have limited training in trauma treatment or want to refresh their assessment and counseling skills related to trauma. This course will discuss evidence-based practices for the assessment and treatment of adults and children with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) (which is only in the ICD-11 and not in the DSM-5TR). The BASK model of dissociation will be presented, and the DSM-5TR dissociative symptom areas will be discussed as aids to assessment and treatment of C-PTSD and DID. Differing approaches to doing trauma work with children versus adults will also be addressed.
