We are pleased to announce our next webinar on January 16th at 2pm, Eastern, Trauma, Psychosis, and Recovery Through Psychological Therapy with world psychosis and trauma expert, David van den Berg, PhD.
Webinar Description
In this presentation, Professor van den Berg will discuss the role of trauma in the development of psychosis, mechanisms in the association between trauma and psychosis, effects of trauma-focused therapies in psychosis, the transdiagnostic conceptualization of trauma, psychosis and PTSD spectrum problems, and the development of phase-based transdiagnostic interventions for traumatized individuals with psychosis that combine CBT with trauma-focused interventions.
Combining video clips, research data, personal perspectives, and an overview of current studies on the topic, Professor van den Berg will present an argument for more focus on primary prevention strategies, and for psychosis not to be an exclusionary criterion for access to trauma therapies.
