The treatment of survivors of chronic abuse presents many challenges,
including complex diagnosis, treatment staging, and relational dilemmas.
In the past decade, there have been remarkable advances in both
understanding and treatment approaches concerning abuse-related
trauma. The treatment model presented for complex PTSD is a nonpathologizing,
developmentally informed approach that integrates cognitive-behavioural
and psychodynamic perspectives. This model moves away from the idea
of understanding discrete “symptoms,” towards a more
sophisticated and integrated understanding of how survivors adapt
to and cope with the long-term effects of chronic abuse.
This course offers a conceptual framework for the delivery of effective
clinical interventions with abuse survivors. Specific techniques
and approaches will be taught that will assist in addressing affect
regulation, chronic intrusion and hyperarousal, trauma-related schemata,
attachment difficulties, and re-enactments.
Who Should Attend
Frontline workers, therapists, social workers, psychologists and
others in helping professions who work with abuse related trauma.

Cybercounselling
I am busy working with Therapy Online and the University of Toronto,
developing an online course in Cybercounselling Skills. I think
that as the
amount of time patients spend in hospital these days is shrinking
more and
more (with an increase in home care!), that social workers in health
can
offer counselling to these patients in their homes using cybercounselling
skills.
