IABCP
CBT for Complicated PTSD
Improving your practice
Presented by Dr Kerry Young
Friday 9 March 2018
Times: 9.30am to 5.00pm (Registration from 8.45am)
Venue: The Ashling Hotel, Parkgate St, Arran Quay, Dublin 8, Ireland
About the workshop
There are well-established protocols for the treatment of PTSD using trauma-focused CBT (tfCBT) (e.g. Ehlers et al., 2005). However, there is relatively little information about how to adapt tfCBT for more complicated PTSD, such as that resulting from multiple traumatic events, or from prolonged exposure to threat, or where dissociation is a key feature of someone’s presentation.
In this workshop, I will briefly review what evidence there is for treating more complicated PTSD presentations. Then I will suggest a pragmatic clinical pathway for clinicians to follow. This will encompass the following:
- How to assess more complicated PTSD
- How to formulate complicated PTSD
- What to consider and what to do about difficulties with engagement
- What to consider and what to do about difficulties with emotional regulation
- How to understand and manage dissociation
- How to treat complicated PTSD. This will include summaries of the current evidence based interventions for this group: Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET); Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT); Narrative Story Telling (NST); and Imagery Re-scripting (ImRS)
- Finally, how to work with some of the cognitive themes common in complicated PTSD e.g. shame, guilt and mistrust
I will assume a working knowledge of the model and treatment protocols for more straightforward PTSD (see Ehlers & Clark, 2000).
I will use a lot of case material and some films from my own clinical practice (with refugees and asylum seekers). However, the ideas and techniques that I suggest will apply to all patients presenting with complicated PTSD. I will give out useful patient handouts and examples of scripts for explaining x or y. Thus, I hope that at the end of the day, participants will feel more confident about where to begin when seeing such patients, what sorts of things might genuinely help and where to look for further learning. I really enjoy the work that I do in this area and hope to spread some of that enthusiasm and knowledge to others.
About the speaker:
Kerry Young trained as a clinical psychologist in Oxford in the early 1990’s. After a brief stint in neuropsychological rehabilitation, she went on to work at the Traumatic Stress Clinic in London for many years. More recently, she has developed an interest in modifying traditional CBT approaches to work with multiple/prolonged traumas. She has written and taught about this widely. She is the Clinical Lead of the Woodfield Trauma Service, an NHS service in Central and Northwest London NHS Foundation Trust for refugees and asylum seekers with PTSD. Kerry’s current research interests lie in using imagery techniques to enhance standard CBT treatments for PTSD and for anxiety and depression in Bipolar Disorder – she is part of team of investigators looking into both, based jointly at Reading University and Karolinska Institute in Sweden.
