Treatment of the Traumatized Child

Examine the more common forms of trauma seen in psychotherapy, (such as family violence and child abuse), in this advanced workshop. You study various interventions and treatment methodologies that can be used with children and briefly review how trauma affects a child at various developmental stages. You also study the impact of working with victims of child trauma, including secondary traumatization, countertransference and self-care. You should be prepared to give a 10-minute presentation of a case with specific questions by the end of the workshop. This workshop is designed for the clinician with at least two years of experience working therapeutically or clinically with children and adolescents.
