New Developments in the Treatment of PTSD and Co-Occurring Disorders: Ways to Bolster Resilience Across the Life-Span

In the aftermath of traumatic and victimizing experiences, most individuals are affected, but some 75% go onto evidence of resilience and the ability to handle ongoing stressors.

This workshop will consider what distinguishes this group of resilient individuals from the 25 % who develop PTSD and co-occurring disorders and the treatment implications.

I will discuss how to implement the Core Psychotherapy tasks that characterize ” expert ” therapists. Some 25 % of therapists get 50% better treatment outcomes and have 50% fewer dropouts. I will discuss how these therapists bolster resilience in their patients across the life-span. I will highlight a constructive narrative perspective and note ways to spot HYPE in the field of psychotherapy.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss what distinguishes the 25% of individuals who develop PTSD and related disorders in the aftermath of traumatic events VERSUS the 75% of similarly exposed individuals who evidence resilience and consider the assessment and treatment implications.
Implement the Core Tasks of Psychotherapy that characterize “expert” therapists.
Bolster resilience across the life-span including “high risk” children, adolescents, adults and the elderly.
Bolster patient resilience using physical, interpersonal, emotional, behavioral, cognitive and spiritual domains.
