CNS 607 - Developmental/Complex Trauma: Best Practices for Adult Survivors Credits: 3

This course will build from the introductory course (CNS 605 - Introduction to Complex/Developmental Trauma: Research, Theory & Practice) and will focus specifically on effective services for adult survivors. Content will cover a variety of interventions organized within a universal framework for developmental trauma recovery (attachment, self-regulation, competency). Interventions will emphasize addressing the adult behavioral and mental health outcomes of childhood trauma. Special attention will be given to addressing relational dynamics and development of a cohesive and positive sense of self. Participants will be expected to explore transference and counter-transference dynamics as pertains to providing effective clinical/direct service, and continue work with professional resilience building.
