ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT OF PTSD

Course Goals:

The goal of this seminar is to provide professionals with the tools necessary to assess, diagnose and treat PTSD. This seminar is the second of five courses leading to Certified Traumatologist certification through the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology. (Course 1: Disaster Mental Health or Field Traumatology.)

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the continuum of post-traumatic stress responses and disorders from the perspective of trauma theory, including dissociative and complex DESNOS phenomena
     
  • Identify the major symptoms of acute and chronic post-traumatic disorders, including possible implications for personality development, occupational and social functioning and altered world view
     
  • Discuss how symptoms of PTSD might be misdiagnosed
     
  • Identify instruments used to assess disorders associated with traumatic stress and discuss the potential merits and limitations of each and their effective utilization
     
  • Understand the utility of phase-oriented treatment with trauma survivors with an ability to implement a tri-phasic treatment trajectory
     
  • Compare and contrast several treatment approaches for PTSD
     
  • Develop understanding and skills for helping clients to establish inter- and intra-personal safety, including self-soothing and containment skills
     
  • Understand the theoretical “active ingredients” to effective trauma treatment
     
  • Understand how the therapist can effectively employ the “self” as a tool for healing
