LiveTalk Series:
Developmental Trauma Disorder and the 'Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment' (SMART) Model
Featuring:
Elizabeth Warner, PsyD
Monday, March 30, 2015
7:00pm - 8:00pm EST
Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) is a diagnostic criteria authored by Bessel van der Kolk and colleagues that was proposed for the DSM-5. DTD is the disruption of normal childhood development as a result of growing up in a context of ongoing danger, maltreatment, unpredictability, and/or neglect.
Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART) is a model of psychotherapy for traumatized children and adolescents. It draws upon sensory integration based occupational therapy and other body-oriented therapies and is designed to treat regulation problems commonly associated with trauma through active therapy in a room that allows for movement and play. In this LiveTalk we speak with SMART project director Elizabeth Warner about this model and, specifically, how it is applied to the treatment of children and adolescents with DTD.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this LiveTalk the participant will be able to:
- Define Developmental Trauma Disorder.
- Identify two sensory components of the Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART) model.
- Name two ways in which integrating sensory integration theory with traditional psychotherapy may be helpful in treating traumatized children and adolescents.
