This workshop will provide cutting-edge training on the organized abuse of children and adults from two international leaders in the study of extreme abuse.

This presentation discusses the neurobiology of dissociation as a post-traumatic response and its relationship to autonomic nervous system (ANS) function, including the underlying physiological mechanisms and defense cascade in response to stressors. Animal models including fight, flight, freezing and tonic mobility, including the involvement of endogenous opioid activation in these states are explored.
