Attachment-Focused Trauma Treatments: Phase-Oriented Strategies to Address Complex Disorders

In this  Attachment-Focused Trauma Treatments workshop, ISSTD Fellow and Lecturer, Niki Gomez-Perales, addresses treatment interventions for some of the most complex clients. Children and adolescents who present with “complex trauma disorders” or “developmental trauma disorders” have experienced a combination of early, multiple and chronic traumas and disrupted attachment. A large number of these children experience dissociative symptoms; some of them have identifiable dissociative disorders. Many have experienced pre-verbal trauma.
