SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: WORKING WITH DEVELOPMENTAL TRAUMA

With Julian D. Ford, PhD, ABPP

Developmental trauma is a type of trauma that occurs during periods in life when primary relational bonds and the person's sense of self are vulnerable - that is, during childhood or transitions in life. Although the original trauma occurs early in life, the effects linger and manifest well into adulthood, often unexpectedly in what seems to be unrelated aspects of a person's life: romantic relationships, workplace and career, and functional family structures, for example.

Dr. Julian Ford's approach to therapy focuses on the strengths that enable the client to be resilient when faced with developmental trauma.

In this video program, Dr. Ford works with an African American man who is still profoundly affected by developmental trauma that occurred when he was a young man serving overseas in combat.

In the demonstration, Dr. Ford integrates a transtheoretical framework to help the client understand the psychobiology of stress reactions and to affirm the strength he derives from the positive legacy of fatherhood in his life, in order to provide him with a new perspective on, and a path to recovery from, developmental trauma and PTSD.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: COMPLEX POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

With Steven N. Gold, PhD

Two common misconceptions about working with survivors who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are that the disorder always stems from a single event and that effective treatment consists solely of a set of exposure-based interventions that address that one event.

However, individuals who have survived prolonged or repeated trauma often develop complex PTSD, a disorder consisting of forms of impairment much more extensive than in PTSD. Often, when trauma-focused exposure-based interventions are launched into prematurely, they are highly likely to cause deterioration rather than improvement.

In this video, Dr. Steven N. Gold demonstrates an approach to working with clients experiencing complex PTSD that focuses initially on helping them improve their quality of life in the present. By coaching clients on various facets of adult living, such as mastering effective coping skills, maintaining steady employment, and building a social support network, therapists can help them experience marked improvement in the present and form a stable base from which to address the lingering impact of traumatic experiences.

SPIRITUALITY: SPIRITUALLY ORIENTED PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR TRAUMA

With Donald F. Walker, PhD

Many clients rely on spiritual beliefs and religious faith as a source of strength, and trauma can challenge such resources just when they are most required. Therefore, it is important that therapists know how to facilitate restoration of a client's faith system while incorporating it into the therapy to treat the trauma effectively.

The approach demonstrated in this video is integrative, combining elements of traditional trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy with spiritually oriented psychotherapy.

Spiritually oriented trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy has underlying treatment components that initially teach affect regulation before helping participants to identify links between non-trauma related cognitions, feelings, and behaviors. Trauma processing occurs by identifying and correcting trauma related cognitive distortions in a client narratives about trauma. It is important to initially assess the client's spirituality and religious beliefs at the outset of therapy and to, when appropriate, incorporate aspects of their faith during treatment.

In this video, Dr. Donald F. Walker demonstrates this approach with a young woman who was sexually assaulted and is now struggling with restoring her faith.

This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

With Casey T. Taft, PhD

Exposure to trauma due to abuse or violence can increase risk for aggressive behavior in relationships. Intimate partner violence is more likely when an individual is suffering with trauma-related problems such as PTSD, as is sometimes the case in families with members who served in military combat positions.

Empirically validated, trauma-informed therapeutic interventions are essential to addressing such violence. These interventions help clients recognize a need to take responsibility for their abusive behavior and to develop effective conflict resolution skills.

In this video, Dr. Casey Taft demonstrates this approach by helping a group of four men acknowledge intimate partner violence in their lives and take necessary steps towards remaining nonviolent.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS FOR POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

With Candice M. Monson, PhD

Cognitive theories of posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, assert that traumatized individuals make problematic appraisals about their experiences that potentially impede recovery from trauma. Individuals with PTSD develop over-generalized and negative conclusions based on traumatic events in areas such as safety, trust, and intimacy.

Unlike anxiety-based or emotional-processing theories of PTSD, which are the foundation of exposure-based interventions, cognitive theories hold that PTSD is not a disorder of anxiety, but is instead characterized by emotional and physiological dysregulation that can be remedied with cognitive interventions.

In this video, Dr. Candice M. Monson employs cognitive behavioral therapy interventions with a woman who is suffering from PTSD after the tragic loss of her son.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: NARRATIVE PROCESSES IN EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY FOR TRAUMA

With Lynne Angus, PhD, CPsych, and Sandra C. Paivio, PhD, Cpsych

Emotion-focused therapy for trauma (EFTT) is an evidence-based, short-term therapy for clients dealing with issues stemming from child abuse trauma. Unique challenges are associated with this form of trauma, including emotion regulation difficulties and narratives devoid of affect or personal meaning.

Narrative processes in EFTT focus not only on the content but the quality of client narratives - that is, how a client recounts his or her experiences. Therapists trained in this approach pay attention to the presence and type of affective experience, level of emotional arousal and engagement with trauma material, and narrative coherence. Narrative process interventions access healthy sub-dominant aspects of the client's experience and use these to promote construction of more detailed and meaningful narratives.

In this video, Drs. Lynne Angus and Sandra C. Paivio demonstrate and discuss key therapeutic interventions that encourage and direct a client through narrative and emotion-focused processes to gain acceptance and clarity on unresolved issues.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY FOR TRAUMA

With Sandra C. Paivio, PhD, Cpsych

Emotion-focused therapy for trauma (EFTT) is an evidence-based, short-term, individual therapy for adult clients dealing with issues stemming from child abuse trauma.

In this program, Dr. Sandra C. Paivio is featured in a clinical demonstration of EFTT, and further outlines its strategies for reprocessing trauma feelings and memories and working directly with emotional processes to bring about client change.

EFTT posits that the therapeutic relationship and emotional processing of trauma memories are mechanisms of change. By emphasizing access to previously inhibited adaptive feelings and meanings, the clinician and client can use the adaptive information associated with these emotions to modify maladaptive meanings associated with fear, avoidance, and shame.

In Emotion-Focused Therapy for Trauma, Dr. Paivio works with a young woman who has a history of trauma and current symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. Dr. Paivio first works to establish an alliance with the client to build safety and collaborate on the tasks and goals for therapy, then helps the client to allow the painful feelings and memories associated with traumatic events. Dr. Paivio helps her to express her anger at violation and sadness at loss, accessing self-soothing resources and compassion for self in the process.

RESOLVING TRAUMA IN PSYCHOTHERAPY: A SOMATIC APPROACH

With Peter Levine, PhD

Watch a true master, Dr. Peter A. Levine, demonstrate a course of body-oriented trauma therapy in this extremely compelling and in-depth video with an Iraq Veteran diagnosed with severe PTSD.

Working with Ray's presenting symptoms over the course of five sessions, Levine introduces a number of essential trauma resolution techniques that markedly improve Ray's Tourette-like convulsions, as well as his overall pain and emotional outlook. Levine developed Somatic Experiencing® based on the premise that trauma overwhelms the nervous system and that it needs to be addressed somatically before emotional processing is possible. Thorough commentary by Levine, as well as an extensive interview, helps to elucidate the subtleties of his methods. You will walk away from this video with a sound understanding of this approach to trauma work. This method can be integrated with and add richness to a number of therapeutic modalities and can be used to treat all manner of trauma - from car accidents, surgeries, child abuse, experiences of violence, and so on.

By watching this program, you will:

Learn the nine building blocks of the Somatic Experiencing® approach

Understand the physiological orientation that underpins this method of trauma resolution

Have the tools to integrate basic somatic methods into your clinical work with trauma clients

HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE AND TRAUMA THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA - HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA

With Tian Dayton, PhD, TEP

Psychodrama recreates powerful relational dynamics from the past to bring about cathartic change in the present. Trauma from child abuse remains trapped inside us and continues to threaten our feelings of safety and wellbeing through adulthood. Psychodrama allows us to safely reinhabit the body at the point of past abuse and make sense of the experience from an adult perspective. In this program, Bob fears that he is passing on the legacy of abuse from his stepfather to his four-year-old granddaughter. He acts out scenes with his mother, stepfather and granddaughter, playing both himself and reversing roles. In so doing, Tian helps Bob release hidden emotions, say the things he never got to as a child, and create new meaning around his past and current relationships.

From watching this program, you'll be able to:

Utilize role-play, role reversal and doubling techniques with clients who have suffered trauma from childhood abuse.

Create psychodrama warm-up exercises, action scenes, and group sharing discussions

Adapt Tian Dayton's unique approach to working with childhood abuse to your own therapy work with clients.

HEALING CHILDHOOD ABUSE AND TRAUMA THROUGH PSYCHODRAMA - TRAUMA AND THE BODY: A PSYCHODRAMATIC APPROACH

With Tian Dayton, PhD, TEP

The body remembers the trauma that the mind does not. Psychodrama provides a space for the body to speak, for somatic memory to become conscious, and for the mind to connect and process what the body is experiencing. In this program, Travis speaks to his wounded heart and works through his fear of dying; Sheila speaks to her mother who committed suicide and releases anger that was locked up for many years; and Amal speaks to the birth mother she never met, confronting the belief that she was never loved or wanted. Dayton highlights the emotion that emerges from these participants' bodies, and helps give voice and meaning to the catharsis that emerges so that an integration between mind and body can occur.

From watching this program, you'll be able to:

Utilize role-play, role reversal and doubling techniques with clients who have suffered trauma.

Create psychodrama warm-up exercises, action scenes, and group sharing discussions.

Adapt Tian Dayton's unique approach to working with trauma and the body to your own therapy work with clients.

SYSTEMS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY: PSYCHOANALYTIC THERAPY

With Nancy McWilliams, PhD

In Psychoanalytic Therapy, Dr. Nancy McWilliams demonstrates an integrative psychoanalytic approach characterized by the effort to create an egalitarian, here-and-now relationship in which therapist and client may work collaboratively on the client's problems. Her therapeutic process is organic: Instead of following a set method, she derives her style of working from psychoanalytic ideas applicable to the particular client and consistent with her own personality.

In this session, Dr. McWilliams interviews a woman in her mid-30s who is in an apparently abusive, longstanding relationship with a significantly older man. McWilliams listens to the client's experience and then helps her cope with her fear of separation.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH COUNSELING: DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

With William Richard Miller, PhD

In Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Dr. William Richard Miller demonstrates his approach to treating clients with problems involving substance abuse. Drug and alcohol abuse are a common presenting problem in therapy, second only to depression, so it benefits therapists to have an approach ready for this issue. Dr. Miller uses motivational interviewing, a Rogerian technique designed to increase a client's sense that he or she is capable of handling the problems they confront.

In this session, Dr. Miller works with a woman who has been in and out of recovery for use of various substances who is aiming toward reducing her substance use. By reflectively listening and pointing out her strengths, Dr. Miller guides the client toward recognizing other interests in her life with which she can replace drug and alcohol use

PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS: WORKING WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED NEGLECT OR ABUSE

With Wes Crenshaw, PhD

In Working With Children Who Have Experienced Neglect or Abuse, Dr. Wes Crenshaw demonstrates his approach to working with children who have been neglected or sexually or physically abused. Because most offenders in cases of abuse or neglect are within the child's family, this approach by necessity treats the entire family system, and the goal of therapy is to recontextualize the act of injustice, in both the offender's and the victim's minds.

In this session, Dr. Crenshaw works with three sons who were neglected and abused by their mother, who is addicted to drugs. Dr. Crenshaw listens to the painful experiences of this family and then helps the boys and their father to place the mother's behavior within the broader context of their lives.

With Laura S. Brown, PhD

In Working With Women Survivors of Trauma and Abuse, Dr. Laura S. Brown shows her approach to treating female clients who have been traumatized or abused. Women are more likely than men to experience interpersonal trauma, including sexual assault and partner violence, and they also process traumatic or abusive events in a distinct way, mediated by their biology and by women's socialization. Dr. Brown discusses and demonstrates her approach of creating a safe environment for traumatized clients, teaching self-care, and helping clients to process and integrate the trauma.

In this session, Dr. Brown draws on her feminist theoretical orientation to treatment as she works with a woman from an abusive family system, focusing on empowering the client and validating the client's experiences.

INVISIBLE CHILD ABUSE

With Robert Firestone, PhD

This film is a highly valuable resource for mental health professionals, abuse survivors and their loved ones.

Emotional child abuse is frequently overlooked in our focus on physical and sexual abuse, often invisible to those both outside and inside the family. However, the damage that emotional child abuse can inflict has severe impact later in life on a person's self-esteem, relationships, and career. In this film, actual group participants discuss how despite their successes they continue to treat themselves the way they were treated as children, and continually struggle with the ghosts of their childhood. In powerful footage, men and women discuss painful incidences, and uncover the legacy of emotional child abuse that often spans multiple generations. Featured therapist Dr. Robert Firestone works with these group participants to give them voice to the abuse they experienced, as well as to the child that couldn't then fight back.

From watching this program, you'll learn:

How childhood emotional abuse is kept hidden, how it can have a damaging impact later in life, and how its legacy can span many generations.

What emotional child abuse looks like from many different perspectives and experiences.

How to give voice to childhood emotional abuse, and increase one's compassion in order to move beyond it.

VIRGINIA SATIR, THE - OF ROCKS AND FLOWERS: DEALING WITH THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN

By Virginia Satir

You'll be impressed with how deeply Virginia Satir engages Bob, Betty, Aaron, and Robbie in this session, structured to include the family all together as well as in separate dyads. Bob, a recovering alcoholic, holds custody of Aaron (age 4) and Robbie (age 3), his sons from a previous marriage to a woman who abuses them even as he fights for a restraining order. Bob's current wife, Betty, would rather leave the family than risk abuse to her coming child with Bob. Satir reflects on the "undercurrent of fear" the family is enduring, and proceeds with a session designed to uncover each family member's concerns, align their goals, and get them relating in a safe, honest way.

Satir guides Bob and Betty in communicating their "bottom line" needs in deep connection, supports the whole family in regulating physical touch, and assists Bob in setting clear limits with his sons. Nurturing, directive, experiential, and engaged, Satir exhibits a charismatic style that's simultaneously unique and accessible.
