USABP FORUM - Integrating Addiction and Trauma Treatment

A PARADIGM SHIFT USING BOTTOM-UP, TOP-DOWN, AND SYSTEMIC MODELS

THIS USABP - IBPJ FORUM PRESENTS,
A PARADIGM SHIFT USING BOTTOM-UP, TOP-DOWN, AND SYSTEMIC MODELS

Description:

Addiction treatment has been driven by a pathologizing model that leaves out the wisdom of the body in the healing journey. This forum will bring together leading experts who will share the evolving new paradigms based on cultural trends, scientific discoveries, recent research, new clinical approaches, and treatment center experiences.

This event will address aspects of managed care at treatment centers. It will present the inter-related treatment of trauma and addiction using bottom-up and top-down integrative approaches. Through our panelist presentations and discussions, clinicians, practitioners, professionals, and staffers can get the big picture and in-practice insights for treatment.

The Q&A segment will address today's pressing questions in our field.

This USABP Forum precedes the 2022 International Body Psychotherapy Journal Spring-Summer Issue (our international peer-reviewed journal) that will feature articles, research, book reviews, and more on addiction. Submissions for articles are accepted until February 1st.

This event is a USABP fundraiser.

Monday, February 21st, 10 am to 12:30 pm PST
