Description

The Trauma Center has been in the forefront of elucidating and defining the complex adaptation of children and adolescents to chronic abuse and neglect, as captured in the proposed diagnosis of Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD), and in developing innovative treatments aimed to specifically address the damage cause by early trauma, abuse and neglect. This workshop will present a comprehensive exploration of DTD. We will present the results from a multilevel, multiyear DTD National Field Trial of over 500 children and adolescents, addressing the clinical necessity, symptom composition and traumatic antecedents of DTD. For the first time, we will share definitive clinical interview and self-report instruments for DTD.  Approaches to treatment of DTD in children, adolescents and transitional age youth will be illustrated through case presentation, videotaped session review and live audience-interactive presentation of three innovative Trauma Center models designed for use with this population: ARC (Attachment, Regulation and Competency), Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART) and Trauma Drama.
