Integrative Psychotrauma Therapy Curriculum


This curriculum is a complete and wide-ranging offering in both structure and scope for trauma therapy. It consists of a total of seven modules, in which both theoretical principles,
theoretical knowledge, as well as practical knowledge and practice of the respective methods are taught.

For whom:

Psychotrauma pedagogist: aimed at social workers, educators, social pedagogues, graduate pedagogues, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, theologians and teachers.

Psychotrauma therapist: is aimed at clinical staff who work with traumatised patients in a therapeutic setting, such as: Psychotherapists, licensed physicians with a licence to practice psychotherapy, psychiatrists, neurologists, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists.

 

Contents:
The Integrative Psychotrauma Curriculum is based on the established standards of psychotrauma therapy in Germany and Austria in terms of structure and scope and addresses numerous essential and evidence-based aspects of psychotrauma therapy and serves as an indispensable foundation, both for psychotherapeutic trauma treatment and for later specialisation in psychotraumatology and psychotrauma therapy. Various theories and methods for the treatment of trauma sequelae as well as EMDR, imaginative techniques, cognitive and emotion-focused methods, mindfluness, mindfulness-based interventions, but also newer trauma-therapeutic methods, are comprehensively taught in the conceptual foundations and practical application.
In addition to the theoretical and neurobiological foundations, the focus is on psychological stabilisation techniques and interventions for complex trauma disorders.

Practice workshop: Socratic dialogue and other techniques in therapeutic conversation

"[engl. socratic dialogue; gr. διάλογος (dialogos) Conversation], [KLI] conversation technique in cognitive-behavioural therapy, in the context of cognitive restructuring. Dialogue technique that aims to question the patient's cognitive distortions and uncover contradictions. Here the therapist does not convey alternative ways of thinking, but tries to grasp the patient's negative basic assumptions by means of a naive questioning technique until the patient himself encounters contradictions that lead to uncertainty within the existing cognitive schemata and thus enable a change. Indication often in the treatment of depressive disorders" ( Koentges, C. (2018). Socratic dialogue. In M. A. Wirtz (Ed.), Dorsch - Lexikon der Psychologie. Retrieved 10/03/2018, from https://portal.hogrefe.com/dorsch/sokratischer-dialog-1/)

The Socratic Dialogue is one of the most important techniques in therapeutic conversation. In cooperation with the AVM-Luxembourg, this one-day workshop will provide you with a practical and comprehensive introduction to this technique and several others.
