Скачать или смотреть Intensive Trauma Focused Therapy for Victims of Crime

Traumatization is common among victims of crime, and the primary source of emotional distress and related dysfunction. Much trauma-informed treatment is focused on symptom management, which is helpful, but limited. Newer research-supported treatments such as EMDR and PC focus on healing the trauma wound, so symptoms remit and no longer need to be managed; this approach yields more profound and durable results. Even so, working towards trauma healing via hour-per-week therapy can take months or years, and meanwhile the crime victim may continue to suffer or even further deteriorate. We provide intensive trauma-focused therapy, in which victims of crime receive either EMDR or PC for a series of full consecutive days. This workshop will describe our program and procedures, and report on outcomes.
