Intimate Partner Violence: Clinical Assessment and Treatment
with Jocelyn St. Cyr. LICSW
You could be working with a client experiencing Intimate Partner Violence and not even know it. Abuse comes in many forms, and at times, it can be easy for clinicians to miss. In this webinar, Jocelyn St.Cyr will help you recognize signs your client may be experiencing hidden abuse, explore myths around intimate partner violence, and learn tools for assessment and treatment. She will begin by defining intimate partner violence and incorporating common models for conceptualizing abuse. She will discuss important treatment considerations, including considerations for teens, the elderly, and members of the LGBT+ community. She will also explain signs of the most dangerous and lethal cases, and steps to address those concerns. The webinar will conclude with resources, including books, training options, helpful websites and community resources for clinicians to use in their work with both survivors and batterers.

Internal Healing Dialogue: a method of resolving attachment to the perpetrator
with Jim Knipe, PhD
In this webinar, a sequence of EMDR-related treatment procedures will be presented that can be very useful in treating (i.e. resolving) this problem of attachment to the perpetrator, thereby facilitating not only resolution of posttraumatic disturbance from specific traumatic events, but also contributing to resolution of the dissociative separation between personality parts. These procedures will first be described, and then illustrated with video examples from therapy sessions.

Common Cognitive Errors Amongst Trauma Survivors
with Colin A. Ross, MD
In this webinar, Dr. Ross will discuss common cognitive errors among trauma survivors. These are most prominent in survivors of severe, chronic childhood trauma but also can occur in people who have experienced a single traumatic event in adulthood. Negative distortions in thinking are included in the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD. Examples of such errors in thinking are: I am bad; the abuse is my fault; I deserved the abuse; I could have prevented or avoided the abuse; and my judgment is terrible. These beliefs are understandable and arise from normal childhood thought processes: within Dr. Ross’ Trauma Model Therapy, these different forms of self-blame are based on the locus of control shift, which he will explain. Examples of strategies and interventions for these errors in thinking will be described.
