Shame and Dissociation in Complex Trauma Disorder: Emerging Insights from the Empirical Literature
  • Beginning/Introductory
  • Free to Members
  • Webinar
  • 1.50 ISSTD Certificate Program
$35.00
This webinar will explore the emerging empirical literature on shame and dissociation in complex trauma disorders. Clinical and theoretical accounts have long noted the challenges in working with shame in individuals exposed to interpersonal violence, and more recent work espouses the importance of working with shame (e.g, Chefetz, 2015; Herman, 2011; Kluft, 2007).

​​​​​​​An important goal in dissociative disorders treatment has always been the achievement of co-consciousness. An antidote to amnestic barriers that prevent information exchange and often contribute to high-risk behaviors “behind the back” of the client, co-consciousness has many clinical benefits. By facilitating the client’s ability to recognize the parts’ voices, points of view, and belief systems as differentiated from their own, it increases the degree to which clients can maintain continuity of self over time.

Abstract Mary Main and Judith Solomon (1986) were first to identify fear as an important factor in the face of the child's attachment needs. They later named it as the Disorganised attachment status.Their research findings has given us a new lens into the way we perceive human behaviour that is evident in many of our most traumatised clients who are in close proximity to their attachment figures ("scaregivers", Badouk Epstein, 2015). Clients with complex trauma and DID have all suffered chronic childhood injuries to critical areas in their development.

AbstractClients reporting incestuous abuse that continues into adulthood represent a relatively small sample of child sexual abuse survivors, but one that is rarely researched or discussed in clinical training. Existing cases studies suggest these clients often experience sadistic, prolonged abuse. Abuse may involve multiple perpetrators and overlap with organised and semi-organised abuse. Survivors tend to be chronically unwell and severely dissociative.

Recognizing Dissociative Processes in Your Casework

​​​​​​​To recognize dissociative process in your patients requires a shift in the clinician’s attention to take in not only the foreground specificity of what the patient says and does but to add the much more diffuse and somewhat vague background presentation of “how the patient is and how they communicate” what they are trying to convey and not convey.

PTSD As a Future-Oriented Survival Strategy: The Role of Dissociation
  • Beginning/Introductory
  • Free to Members
  • Webinar
  • 1.50 ISSTD Certificate Program
$35.00
AbstractIn this webinar, Dr. Ross will review the history of PTSD from the 19th century through DSM-III (1980), DSM-IV (1994) and DSM-5 (2013). He will discuss the survival functions of PTSD symptoms including flashbacks and hyper-arousal and will explain how PTSD can be conceptualized as a disorder of the future. He will illustrate treatment strategies that follow from this perspective with brief case examples. Dr. Ross will relate the discussion to the mammalian defense systems fight, flight and freeze throughout.
