Mental Health Practice in Rural/Underserved Setting: Strategies for the Generalist Practitioner
Treating Trauma: An Overview of Exposure-Based Approaches

Michael Bordieri, Ph.D.

Located in the Barkley Room of the Curris Center

Exposure to traumatic events is an unfortunate reality for most Americans, with almost 90% of adults and 60% of children and adolescents reporting exposure to at least one traumatic experience in their lifetime (Finkelhor et al., 2015; Kilpatrick et al., 2013). While most individuals who experience trauma eventually return to their baseline psychological functioning, some individuals develop severe psychological difficulties, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This one-day workshop will focus on exposure-based treatments for adults and adolescents with PTSD, with an emphasis on specific techniques that can be used to address core PTSD symptoms and related functional impairments. The workshop will begin with a review of strategies to identify clients in need of trauma interventions and an overview of the psychological mechanisms that maintain PTSD. Considerable time will then be spent discussing and modeling core evidence-based trauma interventions, with an emphasis on Prolonged Exposure therapy techniques. The workshop will conclude with consideration and discussion of common challenges encountered in trauma work, including client, clinician, and structural barriers to successful trauma treatments.
