Caring for PTSD in Primary Care

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:59:02 -0400

Start: Sep 19 2008 - 8:30am

End: Sep 19 2008 - 4:30pm

This will be a one-day training by Kevin Polk, Ph.D. sponsored by the Cabin Creek Health Systems in West Virginia. It will be an introduction to ACT, including 3-Minute ACT for Primary Care Settings. The goal is to show how ACT can be used as an overarching view of PTSD treatment (getting people back into life) that can be started in primary care, and then be augmented with more intensive ACT (or even other PTSD-specific treaments like Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy or EMDR) in mental health care settings.

End: Nov 17 2008 - 10:30am

I am offering a four-part series of online classes designed for clinicians who are interested in learning about the philosophical and theoretical basis of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Part history lesson, part developmental psychology, and entirely behavior-analytic, these classes will provide a broad and comprehensive overview of the assumptions, principles, and concepts that found ACT, from functional contextualism to rule-governance. The material will be presented step-by-step, concept-by-concept, and organized into a simplified framework accessible to those who are unfamiliar with behavioral principles and terminology.
