6.50 CPD Hours APS Branch CPD | Event number: 24473
We are pleased to announce the Gold Coast Branch committee have organised an upcoming in-person presentation with Professor Grant Devilly on Assessing PTSD and treating the underlying disorder with Exposure Therapy. This one-day workshop will focus on the rationale and subsequent use of exposure therapy in treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Grant will outline some key diagnostic criteria that should be borne in mind in trauma cases and particularly those likely to become forensic cases. He will also touch on the discussion regarding the aetiology of PTSD and will also discuss the efficacy of various treatments and how they obtained their 'category rating'. This will then be followed by a hands-on explanation of the treatment, using role plays and demonstrations. The integration of cognitive techniques into the practice of exposure therapy will also be addressed.
Lunch, morning, and afternoon tea will be provided and is included in registration costs.
