Description:
There has been growing recent interest in issues of spirituality and faith in trauma treatment. This presentation will provide a brief and practical introduction to such work by reviewing the integrative approach of leading trauma theorists and clinicians, Christine Courtois & Stephanie Van Deusen, to the treatment of complex trauma.
A panel of clinicians and a theologian will then discuss ways in which such an approach, may be helpful working with a Catholic population, but also consider what such an approach might look like in light of the Catholic Christian Meta Model of the Person.
