Description
Description:
Whether brief or long-term, the treatment of childhood trauma should include an opportunity for the youngster to abreact (express strong emotion), correct (find individual, community or even fantasized solutions), and to discover contexts (perspectives and understandings of the events that occurred). Dr. Terr will thoroughly discuss and exemplify these three modes of treatment, selecting brief therapies as the clinical examples.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how abreaction, context and correction work in treating childhood trauma.
- Within the framework of brief therapy, provide one example of each of these principles.
