  7. Employ three interventions that ensure safe, successful memory processing.
  8. Distinguish the signs that traumatic memory has been sufficiently processed.
  9. Catalogue the root causes of ‘disorganized attachment’ status in children as it relates to case conceptualization.
  10. Assess the clinical implications of the symptoms and difficulties associated with disorganized attachment in adults.
  11. Evaluate the role of structural dissociation in the treatment of complex trauma and personality disorders.
  12. Investigate common trauma-related internal conflicts and behavioral issues caused by structural dissociation.
