Conceptualizing integrative treatment of complex post-traumatic stress disorder in adults with childhood trauma: A theoretical model
Presented By: Erin J. Buggy, Sheryl W. Harrison, PhD
Recorded live on January 23, 2024

Program Description

This presentation intends to review dissertation findings from a study proposing a novel theoretical framework which organizes the underlying needs, clinical challenges, and clinical solutions relevant to conceptualization and treatment of adult clients with complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Qualitative findings centering on themes of Validation, Connection, Safety, and Agency, as well as emerging themes, will be explored. Additionally, the critical importance of advancing an integrated theoretical framework for this under-treated, and even mis-treated population, will be conveyed. This study, titled Conceptualizing integrative treatment of complex post-traumatic stress disorder in adults with childhood trauma: A theoretical model, received a 2022 AzPA Dissertation Award.
