Description
About the CourseWorking with families and individuals where there has been trauma can present considerable challenges as our usual therapeutic processes may be interrupted by the intrapersonal and interpersonal impacts of the trauma. This workshop presents an integration of theoretical and practice ideas from both individually oriented and systemic approaches; Systems theory, neurophysiology, Attachment theory and Internal Family Systems therapy. Useful features of each of these frameworks will be presented and then integrated into a comprehensive approach for trauma informed assessment and intervention applicable to different phases of therapeutic engagement. Specific focus will be given to culture and diversity, and therapist self-care as well as the potential contribution of 'single session' principles to service delivery.
The workshop will include didactic and practical components to build integration of theory and skill. Participants' work contexts will inform the clinical material used in discussion and roleplay demonstration (i.e. alcohol and other drugs, family violence, mental health).
