EP13 Point/Counter Point 04 - Essentials of Trauma Therapy - Francine Shapiro, PhD
Original Program Date :
Length: 1:13:22
Description:
It is important for therapists to fully evaluate the entire clinical picture when treating the trauma victim. This includes not only the overt symptoms directly associated with the traumatic event, but potential problems in relationships and deficits in sense of self. Ultimately, it is important to address and foster health of body, mind, emotion and spirit. Case examples, research and client videos will be used to illustrate the procedures and comprehensive treatment effects that foster personal and relational development.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe specific deficits which need to be addressed when treating the trauma victim.
- Demonstrate the positive treatment effects possible in personal and relational domains.
- Describe principles and procedures used for both overt symptom reduction and comprehensive treatment.
