In this webinar, Dr. Pamela Schaber will conduct a live consultation with Dr. Adam Anderson, who will be presenting an in-process multi-method Therapeutic Assessment of a client participating in residential treatment at the John E. Herman Home and Treatment Facility. Prior to the webinar, attendees will receive brief background information on the client, copies of the major test materials, and Dr. Anderson’s questions for consultation. During the webinar, Dr. Schaber and Dr. Anderson will discuss the assessment, and attendees will have the chance to offer comments and ask questions. The goals of this webinar are two-fold 1) to demonstrate the TA model of consultation and 2) to demonstrate the use of TA with clients involved in residential treatment.
Participants will explore how Therapeutic Assessment can support clients in making sense of their histories with greater coherence and compassion. By weaving togetherAttachment Theory & Parts Work, clinicians can help clients recognize the protective adaptations they’ve developed, reduce shame, & practice new ways of being. We will begin by reviewing foundational concepts of attachment and their relevance to trauma, followed by an introduction to structural dissociation and the application of parts work within the Therapeutic Assessment process.
