Description

Evidence shows that 75% of individuals who experienced traumatic and victimizing experiences demonstrate resilience and in some instances, experience Post Traumatic Growth. In contrast, the other 25% demonstrate persistent adjustment problems and may receive diagnoses of PTSD or Complex PTSD and related psychiatric disorders. In this recording, Dr. Meichenbaum will discuss what distinguishes these two groups and the assessment and treatment implications. He will begin with a critique of the concept of PTSD and a critical review of the “state of the art” of treating traumatized and victimized clients.

He will highlight the benefits of tailoring psychotherapeutic interventions to the major emotional state of the client, be it prolonged and complicated grief, guilt, shame, anger and moral injuries. He will conclude with a discussion of specific ways to bolster client and families resilience (See www.roadmaptoresilience.org). A detailed handout complete with valuable worksheets will be provided.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
