Developmental Trauma Disorder is a concept that was developed by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and his colleagues to better define the symptomology that children suffer from as a result of multiple, chronic, prolonged, and developmentally adverse traumatic events of an interpersonal nature. Developmental Trauma Disorder has not yet been accepted in the DSM-V, but it has gained the recognition and support of many of the leading psychiatrists in the world today. The concept was developed because a diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder does not accurately depict all of the symptoms that children suffer when they are repeatedly traumatized during childhood.  For example, these children will often suffer from cognitive deficits, developmental delays, problems with self-regulation, attachment disorders or related relational problems, somatic symptoms, problems with affect and emotions, low self-esteem, aggression, and self-destructive behavior, as well as the normal symptomology that is associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. As a result, these youth need very specific treatments to address their complex trauma-related issues. This training will educate participants on the causes and symptoms of Developmental Trauma Disorder, and the various treatments that can be utilized to effectively combat this growing public health concern.
