This course then continues the information learned in Part I and will focus on betrayal and memory, treatment modalities, the role of attachment, applications of theoretical models, and secondary trauma.

Kirsten Stach, MA, Dipl, MIACP
Kirsten Stach, MA, Dipl, MIACI was born and raised in the former East Germany (DDR). During her college years Kirsten volunteered for the Blue Cross, an organization offering help and support to alcohol addicts. She got involved with her whole heart and it changed her perspective again and opened up the opportunity to become a psychotherapist.
After finishing the Diploma in 1988 she started working in a day clinic for alcohol addicts and at the same time started her training in Psychoanalysis, Psychodynamic and Body oriented Psychotherapy. On the humanitarian initiative of a Reverend, Kirsten, her former supervisor and a solicitor founded a non-profit organisation in 1990 for the re-integration of released prisoners and inmates of forensic psychiatric units. Kirsten conducted psychodynamic group work in different prisons. From 1995 on she worked for non-profit organisations, the childcare-, and social- and probation services and amongst others specialised in working with difficult, complex, dangerous and “unmanageable” clients like former inmates, mercenaries from the Yugoslavian Civil War, Punks, Nazis and young heroin addicts.
Her first encounter and subsequent interest in Dissociative Disorders started in 1997. In 2005 Kirsten relocated to West Cork in Ireland and established her own psychotherapy practice in 2007 and is licensed by IACP. She joined ISSTD in 2010. Kirsten is mainly working with adult trauma survivors from different countries and cultural backgrounds, a high percentage of her case loads are clients with Dissociative Disorders. In 2019 Kirsten was awarded a MA for Integrative Psychotherapy from CIT Cork.
