About this event
Functional somatic disorders are extremely common and costly resulting in a massive amount of unnecessary human suffering, healthcare services, corporate and governmental loss and disability payments.
Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) has been specifically developed and researched to effectively treat the spectrum of functional somatic disorders. It has been shown in over 20 published outcomes studies to be both effective and cost-effective. In a series of studies it provided greater pain relief than cognitive behavioral therapy in chronic pain populations.
In the 18th Halifax Immersion, Dr Allan Abbass and Dr Joel Town will review a spectrum of resistant and fragile character structure cases presenting with somatic disorders, the assessment procedures, and treatment processes emphasizing somatic experiencing of emotions to remove these symptoms while treating underlying elements of attachment trauma.
This immersion will be held online only due to uncertainty about travel at this time.
Because the course will be held online, it is open to the following groups of healthcare professionals and therapists : 1) those who are in an ISTDP or EDT Core training or supervision, 2) those who have previously completed an ISTDP/EDT Core training program, 3) ISTDP/EDT Trainers, 4) Colleagues of these 3 groups who will attend the immersion while physically being present in the same room, and 5) those who are part of any ISTDP/EDT Societies with signed confidentiality agreements. This is all to ensure confidentiality of case materials that will be reviewed and discussed.
