ISTDP for Functional Somatic Disorders: 3-Day Online Immersion w/Dr. Abbass

ISTDP San Diego - Tami Chelew & Matt Jarvinen

Dr. Allan Abbass's 3-day online course will use video presentations to show how ISTDP treats the spectrum of functional somatic disorders.

Functional somatic disorders are extremely common and costly resulting in a massive amount of unnecessary human suffering, healthcare service use, corporate and governmental loss and disability costs. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) has been specifically developed and researched to effectively treat the full 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 this video-based immersion course, Dr Allan Abbass will review a spectrum of cases presenting with somatic disorders affecting the voluntary muscles (fibromyalgia, spasms, tics, tremors), smooth muscles (Migraine, IBS, bladder spasm) and cognitive perceptual field (Functional Neurological Disorders, functional seizures). The 2 main cases to be shown (never before seen) will have muscle tension related symptoms and functional neurological symptoms plus personality pathology. We will review the assessment and treatment processes emphasizing somatic experiencing of complex emotions to remove these symptoms while treating underlying elements of attachment trauma. This course is suitable for all mental health professionals, physicians, nurse practitioners and other health professionals.This immersion will be held online only.Reduced rates are available for group registrations and those in certain lower income countries. Email for details.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.
