MACP 517 - Trauma Theory and Intervention

3
This course presents an overview of the history, theory, and neurobiology of trauma and how to treat its various presentations. The impact of early trauma and/or neglect on the brain and nervous system, and how this impact differs from trauma events later in life will be reviewed. The nature of trauma memory, how to work with both explicit and implicit memories, and why and how these memories are processed differently in counselling are presented. The assessment and treatment of trauma in its various presentations, using current and empirically-validated methodologies, as well as somatic and expressive approaches is reviewed and practiced.
