TRAINING
Course Description
In the past, maladaptations after trauma were considered to be a reflection of personal weaknesses and were stigmatized.
This course uses recent evidence to understand physiological responses to severe stress and trauma and the risk factors for a pathological response to trauma. These gains in understanding come from the study of memory and neuro-hormonal reactivity and control systems.
The course also summarizes current biologically-informed, psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic interventions for the prevention and treatment of acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
