Psychological Trauma: Level I 

**NEW DATES:  Friday April 27, Saturday April 28 & Friday June 22, Saturday June 23, 2018
Fridays 9am-5pm; Saturdays 9am-12:30pm (all 4 days to be attended)

Faculty: Clare Pain, MD, Lisa Andermann, MD, Janina Fisher, PhD, and other guest faculty

This interactive workshop brings together a team of experienced clinicians to explore and discuss the foundations of trauma and resilience. Although unresolved traumatic experience can have many expressions, understanding components of attachment, mentalizing, dissociation, affect regulation, addictions and refugee trauma enables therapists of any discipline feel more effective. This is especially so when working with individuals who have suffered chronic trauma and also relevant for acutely traumatized patients.

Didactic and experiential learning, live demonstration interviews with simulated patients, attendee examples and vignettes will bring the clinical material to life and illustrate the applied principles in practice.
