Treatment of complex PTSD

The Polish Society of Traumatic Stress Studies, being a Member Society of the ESTSS, has begun organising a further series of workshops leading to the obtaining of the ESTSS General Certificate in Psychotraumatology. You are cordially invited to take part in the Treatment of complex PTSD workshop to be given by prof. Norbert Gurris of the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in Berlin.

Workshop participants will be able to describe the common presentations of complex PTSD sufferers, discuss the theoretical basis as to why alternative management approaches may bebeneficial for complex PTSD compared to simple PTSD, as well as describe the current evidence base for the effectiveness of treatments for complex PTSD.

We encourage participation by those working in mental health facilities – psychologists, psychiatrists, and students at an advanced stage of appropriate fields of study
