Understanding trauma's role in the development
of psychopathology
has become increasingly important in the treatment of a large
portion of the clinical population. Sexual, physical and
psychological
abuse and other childhood traumata become woven into the
individual's emerging sense of self. Developing psychological
structures are stressed and distorted as more extreme methods
of coping are needed. Treatment becomes more effective as
trauma is more directly addressed. This program is intended
to
assist psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, mental
health
counselors, nurses, and other clinicians to increase their
awareness
of trauma and its aftereffects through an understanding of
ongoing developments in the field of trauma-related disorders.
