Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the ISTSS 32nd Annual Meeting! The theme of this year’s meeting is “Trauma and Public Health: Innovative Technology and Knowledge Dissemination.”

Trauma and trauma-related disorders are significant public health issues that require interdisciplinary approaches including epidemiology, biostatistics and health services research. Advances in assessment, treatment and prevention efforts and knowledge translation are of critical importance if we are to increase public awareness and destigmatize trauma-related disorders. The use of Innovative Technology is closely tied to public health strategies. Through modern technologies, including media and internet usage, knowledge translation has increased. Research has a greater impact on clinical practice, just as practice is informing the research agenda. Innovative technologies are being used in treatment and research, and new clinical tools such as e-health and online therapy, as well as those that aid supervision, have improved the speed and quality of treatment.

In this era of exciting methodological innovations and worldwide globalization, the aims of this meeting are to integrate research, clinical practice, and public health initiatives and facilitate the transference and implementation of knowledge. This meeting features the ways that new, exciting, and innovative technologies are being used to advance the field of trauma, including their potential to improve existing treatment interventions and to facilitate the development of new treatment interventions. Recognized trauma experts from around the world will share their work.

Moreover, panels and workshops will provide a lively forum for critical discussions on what we have learned so far. In addition to high-quality, scientific contributions, there are ample opportunities to reflect on the topics that need to be addressed from a clinical point of view and the challenges in clinical practice that hamper optimal implementation of effective interventions. All in all, this meeting will invite attendees to broaden their perspectives, intensify the clinician-researcher dialogue, and promote more interdisciplinary collaborative learning.

We specifically would like to invite you to join the Wednesday evening opening ceremony featuring the panel ”Responding to Terror Attacks: What are the Right Ways to Act?” Experts from different places that experienced terror attacks – Oslo, London, Paris and the USA – will share their experiences related to immediate reactions from the respective communities, as well as their initial and ongoing efforts to organize help for the survivors and to learn from these incidents as a way to inform and direct future work.

For up-to-date information, please visit www.istss.org.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dallas for an outstanding educational event.

Findaway’s Therapeutic Playaway is a handheld all-in-one audio player pre-loaded with topic specific guided imagery audio programs for patients suffering from PTSD and most mental health concerns.

Therapeutic Playaways are a better alternative to smart phones, where the bells and buzzes of incoming messages can prematurely pull them from their therapeutic meditative state and back to their worries.

ISTSS Student Lunch Meeting Friday, November 11, 11:45 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.Chapparell, Hotel 38th Floor

All student members and nonmembers are invited to attend the student section meeting at the 32nd Annual ISTSS conference on Friday, November 11. This lunch meeting provides a great opportunity to meet and network with fellow students and future colleagues, as well as leaders in the field of traumatic stress studies from around the world. The recipients of the three Student Section awards will be announced.

This year’s meeting will feature “SPEED-MEETING” – a format based on the idea of speed-dating. Trauma experts will rotate between tables and provide students with an incredible opportunity to get to know the expert quickly, ask questions and glean wisdom and guidance from those who have successfully journeyed the same paths that students currently travel. It is our hope that students will learn and grow from this mini-mentorship exercise, feel more comfortable approaching trauma experts (and others) at the meeting and generally feel more a part of the ISTSS family.

Pre-registered students will receive lunch paid for by ISTSS.

The Internship and Postdoctoral Networking Fair will be immediately following this lunch meeting. See you there!

Internship & Postdoctoral Program Networking Fair

Friday, November 11, 1:45 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.Finding an internship or postdoctoral fellowship that features trauma specific training can be difficult. In an attempt to ease this burden, the Student Section of ISTSS offers this session to provide an opportunity for students to talk with representatives of various internship and/or postdoctoral fellowship programs who offer rotations or specializations in the clinical and/or research aspects of working with trauma. The training programs have the opportunity to recruit potential interns and postdoctoral fellows, while students have the opportunity to locate these programs, meet representatives, and ask any questions they have about the experiences offered and the application process.

This networking event is coordinated by Sacha McBain, Student Section Chair, and Stephanie Wells & Jon Magnus Haga, Student Section Vice Chairs.

*If there are sites you would like to see here in the future, please contact the Student Section leadership.

San Francisco VA Medical CenterLocation: San Francisco, CA

Population: The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Clinical Team (PCT) at San Francisco VA Medical Center is one of the largest in the nation with regard to clinical activity. Our PCT specializes in the outpatient treatment of veterans from all eras who have PTSD related to combat, combat support, combat training, or military sexual trauma (MST) in the course of active duty military service. We also treat veterans whose primary mental health diagnosis is PTSD, regardless of trauma type, and a significant proportion of our patients have histories of complex trauma. We serve a predominantly male population ranging in age from 18 to 90+ years, although the number of women accessing services is increasing. Our population is quite diverse, with multiple ethnicities (significant numbers of Filipino American veterans), ages, sexual orientations and levels of socioeconomic status represented. Veterans are not required to have served in a war to be treated by the PCT.

Training level: Postdoctoral position (1 year), and pre-doctoral internship (1 year)

Emphasis: Postdoctoral position has 2 full-time tracks: PTSD in Returning Veterans (100% PCT) and PTSD & Substance Use Disorders (75% PCT, 25% SUPT). Internship follows a generalist model, with PCT and SUPT available as 8-12 hour rotations.

Training opportunities: All of our trainees gain proficiency in specialty evaluation, treatment planning, and treatment engagement of veterans with PTSD, many with co-occurring substance use disorders, mood disorders and/or chronic pain. Using a phase-based approach to trauma recovery (i.e., evaluation, stabilization, exposure/uncovering, integration and relapse prevention, maintenance), trainees learn to provide both time-limited and longterm individual and group psychotherapy.

Specialized training is available in motivational interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), CBT for PTSD,

and Seeking Safety, and there are opportunities to work in an integrated mental health primary care setting as well as through telemental health with veterans who live in remote areas. Group psychotherapy is central to our treatment approach.

Our trainees receive individual and group supervision by psychology staff, and also attend a weekly multidisciplinary seminar and clinical conference, which reviews the empirical literature pertaining to a number of different topics relevant to PTSD.

In addition to the training opportunities described above, our postdoctoral fellows train psychiatry residents and psychology trainees in the assessment of PTSD using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and help oversee our weekly multidisciplinary clinics. Postdoctoral fellows also each supervise at least one junior psychology trainee (intern or extern), and organize and preside over our weekly multidisciplinary seminar and clinical conference.

Continuing Education

Educational NeedThe ISTSS Annual Meeting provides a forum for sharing research, clinical strategies, public policy concerns and theoretical formulations on trauma. It is an international assembly of professionals and students representing an array of disciplines including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, counselors, researchers, administrators, victim advocates, journalists, clergy and others with an interest in the study and treatment of traumatic stress. Speakers are strongly requested to avoid unnecessary jargon and to make their work and its implication to the traumatic stress field as accessible as possible to those who do not share their particular perspective and type of scientific approach. This is designed to facilitate increased understanding of what different types of researchers (e.g., basic scientists, clinical researchers) focusing on different types of traumatic stressors (e.g., child maltreatment, disasters, terrorism, war) using different research methods and perspectives (e.g., epidemiology, genetics, psychosocial, psychobiological) have found as well as what the implications of their work are for the traumatic stress field. Our aspirational goal is to establish a jargon-free zone in which experts maximize communication of their work, findings and implications in a way that facilitates understanding and cross-fertilization among researchers, clinicians and policy makers from other perspectives.

Conference GoalsAfter participating in this activity, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the use of innovative technologies to improve treatment for trauma-related disorders

• Identify new ways of disseminating knowledge related to trauma and PTSD

• Describe public health-related issues that help to better understand trauma-related disorders and facilitate treatment

Continuing Medical Education AccreditationThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Boston University School of Medicine and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Boston University School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit DesignationBoston University School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 28.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Since the attacks on the U.S. in 2001 and the Madrid train bombing in 2004, there have been an increasing number of terrorist incidents around the world. Professionals in the field of traumatic stress have a particular responsibility to support health authorities in developing and implementing the best strategies in acute crisis and the aftermath of terror. How do we meet these challenges? Panelists with experiences from terror attacks across the world present suggestions for future responses.

Based on the worldwide work of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, Bruce Shapiro will discuss the role of media in resilience, recovery and social policy following large-scale atrocity and explore ways for important knowledge from the trauma field to be communicated more effectively through news media.

Drawing on his experiences after the 2005 London bombings, Chris Brewin will emphasize the difficulty in identifying and following up survivors after incidents involving dispersed populations, such as transport incidents and attacks on public gatherings. He will discuss strategies for ensuring longer term mental health needs are met.

Tuva Svendsen is a medical student at the Arctic University of Norway. In July 2011 she survived the Utøya terror attack where 69 young people attending a summer camp were killed by a single perpetrator. Sharing her personal experiences in fighting her way back to a normal life gives a unique insight in the user perspective of trauma outreach programs.

Last year`s attack in Paris challenged the organization of medical and psychological outreach to victims and an epidemiologic study showed a high proportion of traumatized civilians with unmet needs. Philippe Pirard and co-authors Thierry Baubet, Stéphanie Vandentorren and Yvon Motreff therefore concluded that we need to enlarge the scope of the population to be contacted and ensure more structured early outreach through novel initiatives to reach exposed persons on web-based platforms.

Robert Pynoos and Melissa Brymer will describe how the National Child Traumatic Stress Network has collaborated with partners to respond to the needs of children and families after terrorist attacks worldwide. Future directions for response and recovery programs for children, adolescents, and families after terrorism will be discussed and recommendations for expanding services for underserved populations and for addressing different cultures.

The Epidemiology of Trauma and PTSDPrimary Keyword: Pub HealthSecondary Keyword: Chronic-Complex-Global-PreventPopulation Type: AdultPresentation Level: ARegion: Global

Ronald C. Kessler, PhDHarvard Medical School, Boston Massachusetts, USA

This presentation will provide an overview of results from the World Health Organization’s World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys on the epidemiology of trauma and PTSD. The WMH Surveys are a coordinated series of mental health needs assessment surveys carried out in representative national and regional household surveys to support mental health policy planning efforts in countries throughout the world. WMH surveys have been completed to date in 25 countries in the America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Each WMH survey asks respondents about lifetime prevalence, age-of-onset, and course of a wide range of common mental and substance disorders. PTSD is one of these disorders. WMH respondents are also asked about lifetime history of exposure to a wide range of traumas. The presentation will focus on the distribution and clustering of trauma exposure; differential risk of PTSD onset and persistence across trauma types as a joint function of age of exposure and prior trauma history; and the role of temporally prior mental and substance disorders in predicting trauma exposure, risk of PTSD after trauma exposure, and course of PTSD after onset. Clinical and public health implications of results will be pointed out throughout the presentation.

Dr. Kessler’s research deals broadly with the social determinants of mental health and illness as studied from an epidemiological perspective. He is the author of over 600 publications and the recipient of many awards for his research, including the Senior Scientist and MERIT awards from the National Institute of Mental Health. He has been rated as the most widely cited researcher in the world in the field of psychiatry for each of the past fifteen years and is a member of both the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Kessler is the Principal Investigator of the US National Comorbidity Survey, the first nationally representative survey of the prevalence and correlates of mental disorders in the U.S., and a Co-Director of the World Health Organization’s World Mental Health Survey Initiative, a series of comparative community epidemiological

surveys of the prevalence and correlates of mental disorders and treatment for these disorders in 26 countries around the world. In addition to his epidemiological studies, Kessler is involved in evaluating a number of innovative programs for the prevention and treatment of mental illness in high-risk segments of the population. Finally, Dr. Kessler is the Principal Investigator of the Harvard Medical School site for STARRS-LS, a research program funded by the Department of Defense to study risk and protective factors for suicide among Army personnel.

Dr. Kessler earned his PhD in sociology from New York University in 1975. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in psychiatric epidemiology at the University of Wisconsin before joining the faculty at the University of Michigan in 1979. He was a Professor of Sociology and a Program Director at Michigan’s Institute for Social Research at the time he took his current position at Harvard Medical School in 1994.

Epigenetic Regulation of Stress Genes and Their Role in Stress-Related Psychiatric Disorders: FKBP5 as an ExamplePrimary Keyword: Bio MedSecondary Keyword: Gen/Int-GeneticPopulation Type: LifespanPresentation Level: MRegion: Global

Elisabeth Binder, MD, PhDEmory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Stress responses and related outcomes vary markedly across individuals. Elucidating the molecular underpinnings of this variability is of great relevance for developing individualized prevention strategies and treatments for stress-related disorders. An important modulator of stress responses is FKBP5. FKBP5 acts as a co-chaperone that modulates not only glucocorticoid receptor activity in response to stressors but also a multitude of other cellular processes in both the brain and periphery. Notably, the FKBP5 gene is regulated via complex interactions among environmental stressors, FKBP5 genetic variants, and epigenetic modifications of glucocorticoid-responsive genomic sites. These interactions can result in FKBP5 disinhibition that has been shown to contribute to a number of aberrant phenotypes in both rodents and humans and possibly contributes to both behavioural and medical symptoms associated with stress exposure. Consequently, FKBP5 blockade may hold promise as a treatment intervention for stress-related disorders, and recently developed selective FKBP5 blockers show encouraging results. Although risk for stress-related disorders is conferred by multiple environmental and genetic factors, the findings related to FKBP5 illustrate how a deeper understanding of the molecular and systemic mechanisms underlying specific gene-environment interactions may provide insights into the pathogenesis of stress-related disorders.

Dr. Binder has studied Medicine at the University of Vienna, Austria and Neuroscience at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, USA. Following a postdoctoral training at the Max-Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany, she returned to Emory University as an Assistant

Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Human Genetics. In 2007, she was appointed as research group leader at the Max-Planck Institute of Psychiatry within the Minerva Program of the Max-Planck Society.

Since August 2013, Elisabeth Binder is the director of the Department of Translational Research in Psychiatry at the Max-Planck Institute of Psychiatry. She also holds an appointment as an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. Her main research interests are the identification of molecular moderators of the response to environmental factors, with a focus on early trauma and gene x environment interactions. She studies how such factors influence trajectories to psychiatric disease or well-being to ultimately use this information for novel prevention and treatment strategies.

Supporting Vast Numbers of People in Communities Affected by Adversity: Lessons Learned (So Far)Primary Keyword: Pub HealthSecondary Keyword: Commun-Nat/Dis-Civil/War-CarePopulation Type: LifespanPresentation Level: ARegion: Global

Mark van Ommeren, PhDWorld Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland

Following exposure to violence, disaster, or other adversity, rates of mental health problems and non-pathological distress increase. At the same time, most people in countries affected by adversity do not have access to appropriate mental health support. Despite insufficient numbers of (a) mental health specialists (b) non-specialists working for mental health, and (c) public mental health practitioners, this area of public health has much momentum.

This presentation will seek to cover the World Health Organization (WHO)’s approach to addressing vast mental health needs in emergency-affected countries. It will emphasize 4 aspects: (a) mental health system building (as described in WHO (2013) Building back Better: Sustainable Mental Health Care after Emergencies), (b) clinical interventions integrated into general health services (as described in the WHO & UNHCR (2015) mhGAP Humanitarian Intervention Guide: Clinical Management of Mental, Neurological and Substance Use Disorders in Humanitarian Emergencies, (c) social interventions that can reach large numbers of people with the aim to create a supportive recovery environment (as described in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC, 2007) Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings), and (d) scalable (low resource-intensity) psychological interventions, as currently developed and tested by WHO and many partners.

The presentation includes both country and normative examples with lessons learned and relearned (such as “training without supervision is entertainment” and “in public health, less is often more”).

Dr. van Ommeren is Public Mental Health Adviser in the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse at the World Health Organization (WHO). He functions in WHO as the global focal point for mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies.

This position includes advising and supporting all relevant agencies in providing the best possible social and mental health supports to people affected by war and other disasters. He has played a key role in initiating and drafting the most popular documents currently used in emergencies worldwide.

He was initiator and co-chair of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Task Force for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, representing guidelines for emergencies written and endorsed at head-of-agency level by 27 agencies representing key UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent movement and leading non-governmental organizations.

He also led the drafting of the mental health standard in the Sphere Handbook (2004, 2011), which is worldwide the most widely used guide in emergencies across disciplines.

He has a particular interest in action related to “building back better”, that is converting short-term emergency-related interest in mental health into momentum for long-term improvement, as described in Building Back Better: Sustainable Mental Health Care after Emergencies (WHO, 2013).

He is also a member of the WHO mhGAP team where he is the focal point for psychological interventions as well as for depression, trauma and loss. His recent work focuses on the development and testing of simplified “low-intensity” psychological interventions to be used in communities affected by adversity.

He was the recipient of the 2002 ISTSS Chaim Danieli Young Professional Award for excellence in service or research in the field of traumatic stress. He regularly co-authors articles in leading public health journals (h-index is 36 in Google scholar).

Matthew Sanders, PhDUniversity of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

There is nothing more important in promoting the healthy development and wellbeing of children than the quality of parenting a child receives regardless of their life circumstances. Competent parenting is the key to preventing child social, emotional and behavioural problems because it provides a common pathway to confident, resilient and skilled children. From single-subject research in the early 1980s that investigated individually administered parenting programs to a widely disseminated public health approach that has impacted millions of families worldwide, Triple P has evolved an array of evidence-based interventions designed to overcome a diverse range of clinical problems affecting families every day. This need for flexibility has inspired the more recent innovation work investigating how the Triple P system can be applied to trauma related adversity. The difficulties faced and lessons learned through implementing a large-scale evidence-based parenting program across diverse communities will be discussed.

Professor Sanders is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Director of the Parenting and Family Support Centre at the University of Queensland. He is also a consulting Professor at The University of Manchester, a visiting Professor at the University of South Carolina, and holds adjunct Professorships

at Glasgow Caledonian University and The University of Auckland. As the founder of the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program, Professor Sanders is considered a world leader in the development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of population-based approaches to parenting and family interventions. Professor Sanders is recognised as the global leader in the field of evidence-based parenting intervention and one of The University of Queensland’s Innovation champions. Professor Sanders’ Triple P system is currently in use across 25 countries, has over 68,000 practitioners trained to deliver it, and some 7 million families are estimated to have benefited from Triple P.

Compassion Focused Therapy: Is Compassion an Antidote to Shame and an Effective Treatment of Complex PTSD?Primary Keyword: PracticeSecondary Keyword: ComplexPopulation Type: AdultPresentation Level: MRegion: Global

Deborah L. Lee, PhDBerkshire Traumatic Stress Service, Berkshire, United Kingdom

Those who have been repeatedly traumatised at the hands of others have many challenges to face as they discover a life without trauma and learn how to live in a mind that can flourish. Predominant issues of self-blame, self-loathing, lack of trust, interpersonal difficulties and struggles to regulate threat based emotions are prevalent in therapy.

Effective treatments of interpersonal trauma suggest phased- based approaches for Complex PTSD (Cloitre, 2010), yet the precise ingredients of the phases are still up for debate. Key struggles for clients are to discover that their lives are not of their making or their fault and that can take responsibility to act and feel differently.

Can compassion help you discover what you don’t know and help you feel what you have never felt?

This masterclass explores the use of compassion focused therapy offers clients the psychoeducation to discover their lives are not their fault and the brain training exercises to help them develop the capacity to feel emotionally safe with and connected to others. Perhaps this could offer a vital precursor to change the emotional context of minds and allow clients to think differently about their traumatic experiences in a way that allows them to hold themselves in mind with kindness, understanding, wisdom and courage.

Compassion focused therapy was developed by Gilbert and his colleagues (Gilbert, 2005, 2009). The explicit goal is to develop, access and stimulate positive effect associated with self-soothing in the mind and body of the patient in order to promote an inner sense of psychological safeness (Gilbert, 2005)

The therapeutic work presented in this talk can be considered as part of phase 2, as compassionate resilience enhances affect regulation, interpersonal functioning, problem-solving and the ability to hold trauma memories with a caring compassionate mind. Compassionate resilience enhances feelings of self-soothing and safeness in these memories and reduces self-critical maintenance cycles by developing compassionate self- talk. It helps the development of the

capacity to self-soothe to those who feel deeply ashamed about who they are and what they have been through.

Dr. Lee is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Head of Berkshire Traumatic Stress Service and South Central Veterans Service. She is also an honorary Senior Lecturer at University College London. She is a board member of the Compassionate Mind Foundation and author of the

Compassionate-Mind Guide to Recovering from Trauma and PTSD: Using Compassion-Focused Therapy to Overcome Flashbacks, Shame, Guilt, and Fear (2013). New Harbinger, New York.

Dr Lee has worked in the field of trauma for 24 years and specialises in the treatment of PTSD and complex Trauma. Her particular area of clinical and research interest is in shame based PTSD and self-criticism. She has developed the use of compassion - based treatments including the use of compassionate imagery in shame based flashbacks to enhance clinical practice in this field. She has pioneered the use of developing compassionate resilience as part of a phased based treatment approach to complex PTSD. She has widely contributed to the dissemination of her clinical knowledge through writing and delivering over 100 clinical workshops and talks in North America and Europe.

Christine Knaevelsrud, PhDFree University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Meta-analyses show consistent evidence and large effect sizes of for trauma-focused therapies. However, these are not widely applied in clinical practice. Moreover, only a minority of traumatized individuals who experience symptoms of PTSD are in touch with the health care system and only around one in five patients seeks psychological treatment due to fear of stigmatization, embarrassment, judgment or exclusion or negative beliefs about mental health care services. Above all, there is a pronounced lack of psychotherapy supply for PTSD, with long waiting times and inadequate psychotherapy infrastructure. This disparity of need for psychotherapy and supply is crucial, and alternative means of providing access to treatment are needed. Web-based psychotherapeutic interventions may help to improve access to mental health care for individuals with PTSD through being independent of seeing a therapist face-to-face and through being easily accessible, low-threshold and visually anonymous. Meta-analytical evidence shows that cognitive and behavioral intervention techniques for PTSD can be successfully applied through the Internet. The presentation will describe how current evidence-based treatment approaches can be transferred to the Internet (i.e. through writing assignments, video/ audio vignettes or interactive training) and describe specific moderators that are associated with better outcomes (i.e. duration of treatment, guided versus unguided interventions). The virtual therapeutic relationship with PTSD patients who regularly show difficulties with interpersonal trust and relationships will be specifically discussed.

Dr. Knaevelsrud is a full professor for Clinical Psychological Intervention at the Freie University Berlin and trained psychotherapist. She completed her studies in psychology at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands and New York University, USA and obtained her PhD at

the University of Zurich, Switzerland. During the last decade, she also served as the scientific director of the Treatment Center for Torture Victims Berlin. She is Vice President of the German Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Dr. Knaevelsrud’s clinical and research interests are focused on web-based interventions. She conducted several treatment trials on internet-based cognitive-behavioral treatments for PTSD, Complicated Grief and Depression. Her current work focuses on improving access to evidence-based intervention in regions of war and violent conflicts. Further research interests include psychological risk factors for PTSD such as attention biases, transgenerational transmission and revictimization.

Planning a Large Scale Population Survey: Choices and ConsequencesPrimary Keyword: TechSecondary Keyword: Acc/Inj-Nat/DisPopulation Type: N/APresentation Level: MRegion: N/A

John M. Boyle, PhDICF International, Rockville, Maryland, USA

We have conducted population based assessments of trauma and trauma-related disorders, both in the general public and in sub-populations at greater risk to trauma, for decades. Some populations at greater risk of traumatic events, including active duty military, veterans, first responders, some adjudicated crime victims, among others, can be identified and sampled from databases. However, traumatic events including crime, war, other forms of violence, natural disasters, fires, flooding, vehicular crashes and other accidents, occur throughout the general population. Hence, many studies of trauma begin with general population sampling frames from which cross-sectional or longitudinal, retrospective or prospective assessments of trauma, trauma-related disorders, their correlates and the mediators can be conducted. The ISTSS meeting is an ideal platform to reflect on the promise of innovative technology and methodology in improving our measurement of trauma and trauma-related disorders. Mobile data collection may allow us to develop real time measures of conditions and reactions to natural (and man-made) disasters. Web-based panels may permit us to measure changes in symptom pattern, health outcomes and recovery from trauma on a much more detailed basis.

Dr. Boyle has served as the project director on hundreds of projects over the course of his 35-year career, having directed public health surveys for Federal, State, and local government; universities; nonprofits; and commercial organizations. As the leader of ICF’s Survey Research Practice, he provides

oversight and leadership to ICF’s public health surveys for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other Federal and State clients, and the commercial sector. Before coming to ICF, Dr. Boyle spent 25 years directing the government, health, and social research division of Abt SRBI (formerly Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas, Inc.). He previously directed the government research division of Louis Harris and Associates for 7 years.

Dr. Boyle directed some of the earliest telephone surveys of general populations to estimate the prevalence of intimate partner violence, including spousal violence, rape, other forms of sexual assault and stalking. In the areas of family violence or domestic violence, he designed and directed the Second National Family Violence Survey for Drs. Murray Straus and Richard Gelles in December 1985. This was the first national survey of domestic violence to be conducted by telephone. A total of 6,002 telephone interviews were conducted with a national sample of adults concerning spousal and parent-child violence.

He has also directed some of the most important surveys of rape and sexual assault. He directed the survey of Sexual Assault in South Carolina for Dr. Dean Kilpatrick and the Medical University of South Carolina. This survey was conducted by telephone among a county-wide cross-section of 2,000 adult women in 1983. This methodology was subsequently applied in the National Survey of Women – Risk Factors for Substance Abuse: A Longitudinal Study for the Medical University of South Carolina under grant to the Department of Health and Human Services. A national sample of 4,000 women were interviewed in 1989 and re-interviewed in 1990 and 1991 about their experience with sexual assault, other forms of violence and traumatic events, substance use and/or abuse; and indicators of psychological distress including past and current PTSD. The findings of this study were widely publicized under the title Rape in America.

The Ultimate Skinner Box: Virtual Reality as a Tool for the Prevention, Assessment and Treatment of PTSDPrimary Keyword: TechSecondary Keyword: Clin ResPopulation Type: AdultPresentation Level: MRegion: Global

Albert “Skip” Rizzo, PhDUniversity of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA

Virtual reality (VR) has undergone a transition in the past 20 years that has taken it from the realm of expensive toy and into that of functional technology. Revolutionary advances in the underlying VR enabling technologies have now driven a renewed public enchantment with the medium as a new source of entertainment. However, VR is not limited to the domain of fun and games. VR technology provides an ideal method for creating controlled stimulus environments. Stimuli can be systematically delivered within realistic simulations of real world contexts that allow for exquisite timing and control of stimulus load/complexity, all of which can be manipulated in a dynamic fashion contingent on the responses of the client/research participant. Within such VR simulations, human performance can be digitally captured in real time to support a rich and precise analysis of relevant responses. In this regard, VR can be seen as the “ultimate Skinner Box” for conducting human research and for providing clinical care. Thus, in spite of the early limitations of the technology, a large scientific literature has emerged over the last 2 decades demonstrating the added value that is accrued with the use of VR to address a wide range of clinical health conditions. There is also evidence that many clinicians have come to recognize VRs potential for creating tools that can amplify and extend their capacity to deliver evidence-based care. This can be seen in the results from a survey where expert clinicians were queried as to what interventions they predicted would increase in the next decade (Norcross, 2012); VR ranked 4th out of 45 options with other computer-supported methods occupying 4 out of the top 5 rankings. This presentation will describe VR efforts that are now generating research that is having an impact on the prevention, assessment and treatment of PTSD. After a brief introduction to the technology, I will cover the use of VR to deliver prolonged exposure for the treatment of PTSD and describe studies that aim to assess PTSD by recording the physiological reactivity of users interacting with VR stimuli. Applications that leverage VR to immerse service members within interactive, story-based simulations for teaching emotional coping and resilience prior to a military deployment will then be presented. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the use of AI Virtual Humans that serve the role of digital standardized patients for clinical training and as health care support coaches.

Dr. Rizzo received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from SUNY-Binghamton. He is the Director for Medical Virtual Reality at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies and has Research Professor appointments with the USC Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral

Sciences, and at the USC Davis School of Gerontology. Dr. Rizzo conducts research on the design, development and evaluation of Virtual Reality (VR) systems targeting the areas of clinical assessment, treatment and rehabilitation. This work spans the domains of psychological, cognitive and motor functioning in both healthy and clinical populations. In the psychological domain, the Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan project has focused on the creation of a VR prolonged exposure therapy application for combat and military sexual trauma-related PTSD with OIF/OEF service members and veterans. This system has now being retooled for a stress resilience/coping strategy-training application for use at prior to a combat deployment. His cognitive work has addressed the use of VR applications to test and train attention, memory, visuospatial abilities and executive function. In the motor domain, he has developed VR Game systems to address rehabilitation post stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury. He is also involved with ICT collaborators in the creation of artificially intelligent virtual human patients that clinicians can use to practice skills required for challenging clinical interviews and diagnostic assessments (sexual assault, resistant patients, etc.) and for creating online virtual human healthcare guides for breaking down barriers to care in psychological health and TBI. In spite of the diversity of these areas of research and development, the common thread that drives all of these applications involves the study of how VR simulation technology can be usefully applied to serve the needs of clinical users in a manner that goes beyond what is available with traditional 20th Century tools and methods.

Heleen Riper, PhDVrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The digitalisation of the treatment of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety has gained momentum over the last two decades. Riper and colleagues have shown with ample studies that online prevention and treatment, for example by means of cognitive behavioural therapy, can be (cost) effective. However, ample challenges remain, such as to assess for whom digital treatments work or not, how they work and whether they can work even better than face-to-face therapies. eMental-health, including mobile health, has led to numerous innovations but its implementation in routine care appears still limited. One could argue that this is due to a question of time as it takes a long time to implement innovations in routine care. Under the umbrella of an ‘agile science’ approach Riper will explore how a different line of reasoning, namely that we need not only to innovate our treatments but our scientific methods for the development (‘co-creation’), evaluation (‘beyond RCT’s only’) and implementation (‘evidence-based implementation strategies’) of digital interventions as well. The application of mobile devices that support virtual and augmented realities, sensors, and gaming will become an integral component of studying and providing these interventions. These enable a more personalized approach of depression and anxiety by patients and therapists alike. Riper will discuss these innovations by beyond state of the art anxiety research, specifically related to stress and stress related disorders including routine care examples as well.

Over the past 15 years, her research focus has been on the development, evaluation and implementation of innovative eMental-Health interventions for common mental disorders from prevention to treatment. The scope of her current research activities includes the use of mobile health, and

combined online and face to face (‘blended’) treatments for depression and anxiety. New methodological challenges include the development and evaluation of mobile ecological momentary assessments and interventions (EMA/EMI), serious gaming and predictive modeling. She has opted for an international perspective and collaboration throughout her academic career and acted as Principal Investigator of over 15 large scale European Union projects and reviewer for Research Funding Organizations globally. She has have published over 120 international peer-reviewed papers and book chapters within the eMental-health domain. In 2013 Heleen Riper (co) founded the Journal of Internet Interventions (published by Elsevier) and in 2014 she became President of the International Society for Research on Internet Interventions (ISRII) for which she now acts as Past-President.

Around the world, millions of adults, as well as children each year, experience potentially traumatic events. Especially when events happen on a large scale such as in the case of disasters, migration or highly prevalent events, clinical resources may be limited. The growth of phone and mobile access does enable opportunities for electronic mental health (eMental Health) interventions. We can also more easily address specific contexts and for diverse cultures. However, with all the potential there is for a big step forward towards efficient mental health approaches the biggest challenge may be to provide evidence-based resources that are culturally-relevant, and truly accessible. In this symposium, we discuss how novel technologies may support our public health goals.

Dr. Ruzek will present on the mobile technology applications developed at the National Center for PTSD and explore issues related to expanding their reach to trauma survivors in less-resourced communities with limited access to mental health services.

Dr. Hall will discuss how eMental Health intervention may help populations in need, such as the millions of migrant workers in China who typically face substantial barriers to obtain classical mental health services.

Dr. Ho will share with us how to promote post-disaster management in China e.g. by hotlines, mobile apps and e-mental health tools. He will focus on current e-mental health approaches (‘hope stories’) aimed at increasing hope in children – an important predictor of resilience.

Dr. Kassam-Adams will share how to reach large numbers of children and families by eHealth tools e.g. via gamified and interactive features. She will update us with recent research, lessons learned regarding practical development processes and dissemination models.

Meaningful dissemination and implementation require attention to organizational, leadership, and therapist factors. In this symposium, the presenters will present data and experiences from four large-scale implementation efforts to integrate the adoption of evidence-based mental health interventions in usual care contexts. The presentations cover different settings such as community service agencies and mental health clinics, both child and adult target populations, different interventions that were implemented, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and Trauma-Focused CBT. The implementation projects were conducted in high and low resource countries. Together the studies show that implementing evidence-based practice in usual care organizations is possible, but requires activities targeting multiple levels of the service system so that critical barriers are addressed.

The diagnostic definition of PTSD has important implications for clinical practice, research, service eligibility, and compensation. Few would argue that the DSM-IV and ICD-10 diagnostic formulations for PTSD were perfect, and many aspects of both diagnoses received criticism. However, the DSM-IV and ICD-10 PTSD diagnoses guided clinical and research practice for years. In an attempt to address apparent problems with these definitions, the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for PTSD were revised in 2013 with the publication of DSM-5, and more substantial definitional changes have been proposed for ICD-11. These revisions in the PTSD diagnosis have generated considerable attention, as well as high profile debates in the academic literature. This panel discussion will examine the DSM-5 and proposed ICD-11 changes to the PTSD diagnosis from several perspectives. Particular emphasis will be placed on whether the DSM-5 and proposed ICD-11 revisions are well-justified clinically and scientifically, and whether they represent evolutionary improvements as some experts maintain, or whether they may not have improved the DSM-IV or ICD-10 diagnoses and actually set the field back, as other experts have suggested. Importantly the panel will discuss future directions and ideas for ways forward.

Sleep disturbance and nightmares are distressing clinical symptoms central to PTSD that often are resistant to commonly used psychotherapies and or pharmacotherapies. In turn, sleep impairment can also adversely affect the neural circuits underlying resilience to trauma and can contribute to adverse general health outcomes in PTSD. This symposium brings together clinical investigators with extensive research experience addressing both the neuroscience and treatment of those critically important nocturnal PTSD symptoms.

Recent neuroscience research findings on the effects of sleep deprivation on extinction learning and recall, and on increased autonomic arousal and immune activity in an urban minority sample with highly prevalent hypervigilant sleep fears and PTSD will be presented. The symposium also will address steps toward a “precision treatment” of nightmares and sleep disturbance. Data will be presented supporting: pretreatment blood pressure may be a useful “biomarker” for predicting response of trauma nightmares and sleep disturbance to prazosin in combat PTSD; clinical severity and demographic characteristics may influence nightmare response to imagery rehearsal therapy in Veterans; a brief behavioral treatment normalizes neural responses to threat in chronic insomnia; and alternative cognitive strategies along with behavioral modifications targeting the disruptive effects of nocturnal vigilance on sleep.

Jon Elhai, PhDUniversity of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio, USA

In recent years, mental health professionals have increasingly incorporated information technology into patient care, including the use of smartphones, tablets and laptops for electronic communication, psychological assessment, homework assignment completion and record keeping. Yet weaknesses exist in these technologies that can put patient privacy at risk.

Elena Cherepanov, PhDCambridge College, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

An international trauma specialist provides services to highly vulnerable and culturally diverse populations around the world. The unprecedented scale of human suffering, complexity of psychological needs and limited resources create particular professional and personal challenges and puts special demands on making independent, responsible and ethical decisions in extraordinary and often unique circumstances. Adherence to ethical principles sets standards for practice, gives a sense of professional community (Williams, 2012) and ensures a shared framework in every humanitarian response. The international perspective offers a guidance for the competent trauma care based on the international humanitarian principles: humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence (UNOCHA, 2012). In the first part of the training, the participants will learn about international humanitarian norms, universal humanitarian values, and limits of humanitarian actions as they apply to the trauma work and research. In the second part, participants will use case scenarios to further explore the role and responsibility of an international trauma specialist in the setting with complex needs; moral, cultural and ethical dilemmas; advocacy, media and communication; and ethically questionable practices: rescue fantasy, imposing moral judgments; fostering psychological dependence; misuse of power, or ignoring survivors’ competency. The review of the signs and consequences of the burnout in the field work highlights the importance of self-awareness and self-care as cornerstones of the professionalism and offers relevant coping skills.

This workshop will feature innovative multimedia resources on complex trauma for youth, caregivers, and providers across service systems, developed in conjunction with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. We will highlight the following educational resources: 1) a short film “Remembering Trauma: Connecting the Dots between Complex Trauma and Misdiagnosis in Youth” and 2) the Complex Trauma Resource Guide for Youth. The development of an upcoming complex

trauma video- made by youth and for youth- will also be discussed. These products are all designed to: 1) enhance understanding of the complex effects of trauma across development, 2) reduce the potential for mislabeling or misdiagnosing symptoms of complex trauma, and 3) enhance public awareness and de-stigmatize trauma-related issues for youth across systems (mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, schools). We will emphasize use and application of these resources in real world settings. These products are a response to feedback from youth and providers regarding needs and gaps and designed to support professionals across disciplines to use a “trauma lens” in their ongoing work. Participants will be engaged in discussion of how to effectively disseminate and utilize the resources in practice at both an individual level with youth and families and at a systems level for trauma education and advocacy.

Nightmares and sleep disturbances are commonly reported following trauma and are considered the hallmark of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Historically, sleep disturbances have been conceptualized as secondary symptoms that will remit following PTSD treatment. However, coalescing lines of research indicate sleep disturbances are more than just PTSD symptoms, have likely become partially independent, and may be maintaining and exacerbating PTSD. Sleep disturbances may also remain following successful treatment of PTSD and are uniquely related to suicidality, depression, and substance use. There is strong evidence supporting non-medication treatments for insomnia and nightmares, yet many providers have not received adequate training in the implementation of these interventions. Thus the goals of this PMI are to (1) present the evidence base for cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescripting Therapy (ERRT) for nightmares and (2) to provide step-by-step guidance on how to implement these interventions in clinical practice. We will achieve these goals by presenting case examples, providing handouts to be used in clinical practice, video demonstrations as well as audience exercises to further reinforce the utility of these treatments.

In recent years, mental health professionals have increasingly incorporated information technology into patient care, including use of smartphones, tablets and laptops for electronic communication, psychological assessment, homework assignment completion and record keeping. Yet weaknesses exist in these technologies that can put patient privacy at risk. This issue is especially salient when working with traumatic stress patients, given the sensitive nature of narrative discussion that happens in trauma-focused psychotherapy (e.g., exposure interventions). In this workshop, issues of ethics, privacy and security of such technology will be discussed in regard to the treatment of traumatic stress patients.

This is a two-part advanced workshop for clinicians wishing to use a group format to deliver exposure, cognitive, and behavioral treatments for PTSD. The first hour will cover the group literature, challenges to group treatment, and results from a unique 3-member randomized controlled trial with three treatment modules. The manualized 16-week group treatment showed improvement in PTSD (24-point decrease on the CAPS, p<.001, ES=1.72); on functioning (SF-36: Mental: p<.001, ES=1.31; and Physical, p<.001, ES=1.08); and in quality of life (QOLI: p<.001, ES=1.01) in a sample of female OEF/OIF PTSD Veterans. Clinical improvement was comparable to individual PE (Schnurr, et al., 2003), with 77% showing a response to treatment and 52% loss of diagnosis. PCL scores significantly improved for the Exposure (ES=1.42) and Cognitive (ES=0.90) modules, with both superior to the behavioral (Skills) module.

The second part of the workshop will be devoted to providing direction on how to conduct the novel 3-member, 3-module (Exposure, Cognitive, Skills) group treatment protocol. Instruction will include a combination of didactics, instructor demonstrations, and role play for attendees. Most unique to the protocol is conducting imaginal exposure in a 3-member, 90-minute group, with weekly in-session imaginal exposure for each group member. This protocol design addresses the logistic problem of exposure therapy in group. Orientation and Wrap up are conducted in sessions 1 and 16, respectively. Exposure Module (5 sessions). The rationale, identification of safety options, and index trauma are addressed in session 1. Guided imaginal exposure (Keane, et al., 1989; Foa, et al., 2007) is conducted in sessions 2 through 5, with 30 minutes

devoted to each member. Cognitive Module (5 sessions). General cognitive restructuring is taught in session 1, with cognitive distortions on 5 themes (safety, trust, power/control, esteem/intimacy) from Cognitive Processing Therapy (Resick & Schnicke, 1993) challenged in sessions 2-5. Skills Module (4 sessions). Behavioral strategies including assertiveness training are implemented in sessions 1 and 2, and videotaped assertiveness roleplay in sessions 3 and 4. Relaxation techniques are reviewed and practiced in the last 30 minutes of each Skills session. Workshop participants will receive a manual describing the group protocol, including handouts for each treatment component. Participants will be encouraged to: actively participate in roleplays as a group facilitator; identify potential issues, and discuss components of successful group treatment. The group protocol is a practical and effective delivery option that systematically includes exposure, cognitive, and behavioral components for PTSD treatment.

While the study of psychological trauma has traditionally focused on the development of individual symptoms in the person directly exposed to a traumatic event, research over the past 20 years invites a more dynamic conceptualization of the recursive relationship between trauma, interpersonal relationships, and broader contextual factors that influence the expression and duration of traumatic stress (e.g., Figley & Kiser, 2013; Goff & Smith, 2005). Trauma exposure is a multifaceted and complex experience that uniquely impacts




individual survivors, their loved ones, and the social systems in which they live. In particular, there appears to be a basic, yet important paradox involved within the interpersonal context of trauma as trauma frequently erodes the strengths of and has a negative impact on the very interpersonal relationships that could promote recovery and posttraumatic growth (Johnson, 2002). Due to the interpersonal nature of trauma, traditional intervention and recovery-focused therapy on an individual level may be inadequate. In Part 1 of this PMI, the presenters will describe models of systemic trauma, based on current theories, research, and clinical experience, including Family Systems Theory, Ecological Systems Theory, and Attachment Theory. Specifically, The Couple Adaptation to Traumatic Stress Model (Goff & Smith, 2005; Oseland, Gallus, & Nelson Goff, 2016) and the Family Adaptation to Trauma Model (Figley & Kiser, 2013) will be reviewed. The presentation will disseminate information regarding the presented models, the primary issues faced by traumatized systems (i.e., couple, family, and community), and methods to apply these models to the empirical study of and clinical approaches with traumatized systems. In Part 2 of this PMI, the presenters will describe methods of engaging couple and family systems in trauma-informed systemic treatment approaches. This session will focus on practical skills for working systemically with couple and family systems, recognizing critical ethical issues in working with these groups, and addressing specific challenges that may be unique to trauma-exposed relational systems. Presenters have experience working in industrialized and developing countries with couples, families and communities coping with traumatic stress. Thus, the aim of this session is to provide applicable knowledge for clinicians from diverse backgrounds to bridge the gap between empirical and clinical approaches to working with trauma survivors and their families.

Converging developments in basic and applied research suggest that posttraumatic stress and grief reactions are related yet different entities that call for different assessment measures and intervention components. Further, trauma and bereavement often co-occur, especially among adolescents—an age group at highest risk for exposure to violent crime, traumatic injury, and traumatic death. This PMI will cover recent advances in the treatment of the effects of trauma and bereavement in adolescence, including an evidence-based intervention for traumatized and bereaved adolescents—Trauma and Grief Component Therapy for Adolescents (TGCT-A). TGCT-A is an assessment-driven, modularized intervention that can be flexibly tailored according to the exposure histories, needs, strengths, and life circumstances of specific groups and individuals. We will begin with an overview of the developmental tasks, capacities, and needs of adolescents, and the window of opportunity offered by adolescence for intervention. We will then discuss recent advances in conceptualizing, assessing, and treating the interplay between trauma and bereavement as viewed through the lens of multidimensional grief theory. We will then present findings from domestic and international open field trials, qualitative studies, and a large-scale randomized controlled field trial, which show consistent evidence of the effectiveness of TGCT-A in reducing posttraumatic stress and maladaptive grief reactions, and improving academic

performance, peer relationships, and pro-social behaviors. We will then discuss how TGCT-A components, paired with properly designed assessment measures, can be tailored to provide universal (broad-spectrum), targeted (specialized), and preventive (resilience-enhancing) services in school, juvenile justice, and child welfare settings. We illustrate methods for providing state-of-the-art treatment for posttraumatic stress and grief reactions to vulnerable adolescents with complex histories of trauma and loss in ways that abide by public health principles—including identifying high-risk groups, stratifying groups by exposure severity and type of need, and improving access to services. Given its utility for juvenile justice, we will review a recently published multi-year evaluation of TGCT-A paired with trauma-informed staff training (Think Trauma) at six residential facilities, which found significant pre-post reductions in posttraumatic stress, depression and anger symptoms, seclusions, and restraints. We will conclude with demonstrations of ways to use TGCT-A’s modularized design to customize intervention for either groups or individuals with different assessment profiles, as well as discussion of next steps in research and program dissemination.

Patients who are reluctant to self-refer for psychotherapy are often more receptive to receiving behavioral health services integrated into medical care. Intervention with patients with histories of recent or past trauma presenting for primary care gives medical and mental health providers an opportunity to address the neurobiological aspects of trauma in an integrated fashion that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration. This pre-meeting institute (PMI) will address (1) the unique challenges and benefits of intervening with trauma survivors in primary care settings, (2) how to provide interdisciplinary trauma training that addresses impact of traumatic life events on patient health, (3) quick and efficient screening for trauma history, intimate partner violence, traumatic grief & loss,

trauma due to injury, illness, or medical procedures (4) the continuum of trauma-informed interventions ranging from single session, short-term (EBTs), and patient education, and (5) how to provide linkage to community resources, including outpatient behavioral health, shelter, legal resources. Providers in primary care settings find themselves addressing the needs of survivors of abuse, natural & manmade disasters, traumatic grief & loss, medical trauma, and intimate partner violence. Interventions need to recognize the common clinical needs of survivors (e.g., coping with emotional & physical pain, grief & loss, finding meaning following painful experiences, and self-identity shifts from trauma victim to survivor) and simultaneously be flexible enough to address trauma-specific needs of survivors (e.g., avoidance issues, preparing for anticipated trigger situations).

This PMI will focus on how to overcome barriers and limitations to providing trauma-informed care in primary care settings (e.g., short appointment slots, busy schedules, lack of resources for mental health services, limited financial and transportation resources, and treatment adherence issues). Case examples will be presented.

CPT is an evidence-based cognitive therapy for PTSD and comorbid symptoms that can be implemented without a written account. For over a decade trainings in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) have exclusively taught CPT including the trauma account as an assignment. Results from a dismantling study (Resick et al., 2008) indicate the trauma account is a non-essential element for symptom change. CPT- Cognitive Only (CPT-C) was found to be equally effective and more efficient than utilizing the traditional model. Most importantly, eliminating the trauma account may prevent patient drop-out. The purpose of this institute is to provide attendees the basics of cognitive processing therapy – cognitive only (CPT-C) and facilitate a discussion about making the transition for those practicing CPT with the trauma account. Clinicians may be more comfortable with providing the version of CPT that does require writing and reading a

trauma account or may have been in the habit of doing so and are unsure of how to conduct the protocol without the written narrative. CPT-C is a systematic approach to treating PTSD in which participants are encouraged to feel their emotions and learn to think about their traumatic events differently. The institute includes a functional cognitive description of why some people do not recover after traumatization. Following a review of research on CPT-C, participants will receive an overview of the 12-session therapy, with an emphasis on the differences between CPT and CPT-C. The use of Socratic Dialogue to facilitate emotional processing will be reviewed, along with research regarding who may respond better to treatment with or without a trauma narrative. Specific trauma details will be discussed and presented in video-recorded sessions. Role-play and consultation will be included.

Mindy Mechanic, PhDCalifornia State University, Fullerton, Fullerton, California, USA

The goal of the proposed PMI is to provide trauma professionals with education and training on the use of expert testimony on counterintuitive victim behavior in sexual assault prosecutions. Such training will provide trauma professionals with valuable knowledge, enabling them to share their knowledge with judges and juries. The term “counterintuitive victim behavior” (CIVB) refers to behavioral, emotional, or physical responses observed among, or reported by trauma/crime victims that can be understood within the context of that trauma/victimization, but which lay persons fail to understand or misunderstand due to lack of information, myths and stereotypes or other misconceptions held about how ‘real’ victims behave or ought to behave. It includes actions, behaviors, feelings, and other responses, in addition to failures to respond in expected ways. Courts across the U.S. have admitted CIVB testimony in the prosecution of sexual assault. When lay persons fail to accurately understand the reality of IPA/sexual assault, they apply their own incorrect assumptions about how ‘real’ victims do or should behave,


CANCELED




consequently judging victims as not credible and dismissing their accounts as lacking veracity. Expert testimony on CIVB can help to rebut prevailing myths and misunderstandings about the nature of, and responses to sexual assault, particularly non-stranger sexual assault, in contrast to the prevailing ‘stranger danger’ mythology. Expert testimony can be used to provide a framework or context, within which to interpret a sexually assaulted woman’s behavior, helping to make sense out of the unimaginable things that simply do not make logical sense when viewed out of the unique context in which they occurred. This is particularly true for acts that defy lay expectations, e.g., compliance perpetrator demands, lack of forceful resistance, and lack of affect post-assault. CIVB evidence offers jurors a framework for fairly interpreting and evaluating victim accounts without dismissing them as disingenuous. In addition to myths and misunderstandings about how victims respond to sexual assault or IPSA, many aspects of trauma-related behavior are unfamiliar and counterintuitive to them. Such topics include traumatic memory; delayed reporting/disclosure; lack of effect when recounting the assault; incomplete or inconsistent statements to the police or other providers; continued contact with the alleged offender, particularly in non-stranger sexual assault cases; returning to life as usual following assault.

Reliable and valid assessment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is essential for correctly identifying individuals with this debilitating disorder. Structured diagnostic interviews are considered the “gold standard” for assessing PTSD symptoms and establishing PTSD diagnostic status (Bovin, Marx, & Schnurr, 2015). Since its development in 1990 at the

National Center for PTSD, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS; Blake et al., 1990) has become the most widely used structured interview for PTSD (Bovin & Weathers, 2012). In response to the significant revisions made to the PTSD diagnosis for the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; APA, 2013), the CAPS was recently revised to reflect the new criteria. The goals for the revision were to ensure correspondence with DSM-5, retain distinctive features and maximize backward compatibility with earlier versions of the CAPS, and streamline administration and scoring (Weathers, 2014). Initial evaluation of the CAPS-5 indicates that it maintains the excellent psychometric properties of its predecessors (Weathers et al., in preparation).

Because the DSM-5 PTSD criteria constitute the current official definition of PTSD and reflect an updated conceptualization of the disorder, it is essential for clinicians and investigators to begin using DSM-5-compatible measures such as the CAPS-5 as soon as possible -- measures reflecting DSM-IV criteria are now outdated. However, because of the changes made to both the structure and the content of the CAPS-5, careful training on the new version of the instrument is required to ensure that the measure is administered and scored accurately. Accordingly, the purpose of this pre-meeting institute is to provide attendees with an in-depth examination of the CAPS-5 so they can begin to use it effectively in their own clinics and laboratories. This important and timely workshop will review the following topics:

(1) The history of the CAPS and the rationale for the new format for the CAPS-5; (2) The three versions of the CAPS-5 and when each can be employed effectively; (3) Guidelines for standard administration and scoring; (4) Tips for effectively handling common challenges that occur during CAPS-5 interviews.

In order to provide a “hands-on” training experience, participants will watch a live mock CAPS-5 interview, score each item in real time, and have the opportunity to ask questions about the rationale behind administration and scoring decisions.






Working with PTSD in Refugees and Asylum SeekersPrimary Keyword: PracticeSecondary Keyword: Cul Div-Refugee- Torture-TheoryPopulation Type: AdultPresentation Level: MRegion: Industrialized

Kerry Young, PhDCentral and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, London, England, United Kingdom

Many countries across the world have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people seeking asylum. Currently, there are thought to be approximately 19 million official refugees worldwide (UNHCR, 2016). While estimates vary, we expect up to half of those seeking asylum to suffer from PTSD (Bogic et al., 2012; Turner et al., 2001). Thus, there is a pressing need for evidence-based interventions for treating PTSD in this group.

There are well-established protocols for the effective treatment of PTSD using trauma-focused therapies (e.g. Ehlers et al. 2005; McLean and Foa, 2011; Resick et al., 2012). However, there is relatively little information about how to adapt these therapies for PTSD resulting from multiple traumatic events in refugee populations. Currently, the weight of what evidence there is points to the effectiveness of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)(Schauer, Neuner & Elbert, 2005) in the treatment of multiply traumatized refugees and asylum seekers (see Robjant and Fazel, 2010 for a review). There has also been some work adapting Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) (Kaysen et al., 2011; Bass et al., 2013) and standard Imagery Re-scripting (ImRS) protocols in this population (Arntz et al., 2013).

In this workshop, I will give participants a theoretical and practical framework for the cognitive-behavioural assessment and treatment of refugees and asylum seekers with PTSD, using the aforementioned evidence base as a guide. Topics covered will be:

• Working with interpreters• Cultural modifications of trauma-focused therapy• What to consider at assessment• What theoretical framework to use for formulation• Treatment planning• How to do reliving and other evidence-based treatments

with people who have experienced multiple traumatic events

• Outcome research in this area

The workshop will involve formal presentations, case discussion, lots of video role-play of techniques and group discussion.

Many of these researchers will be future leaders in the domain of posttraumatic mental health and the field will benefit from their partnerships and teamwork. Paper in a Day is designed to stimulate international connections and the exchange of ideas by working on a tangible outcome: a brief paper or commentary for a peer-reviewed journal. This will be an intensive, productive and enjoyable day. Previous editions have led to conference contributions, journal articles, and lasting contacts (see the recent article in Traumatic Stress Points for more information). Because Paper in a Day will take place prior to the ISTSS annual meeting, participants will have the opportunity to continue dialogue with colleagues during the conference.

ProgramAfter registration, participants will be assigned to a team. Each team will choose a topic based on shared interests. Two weeks prior to the workshop, participants will individually prepare (e.g. read relevant articles, draft sections of the paper). The workshop will include plenary discussions about the topic and the drafted texts, and writing time in subgroups. Following the workshop, the draft will be finalized for submission.

CommitmentIn order to make the event a success, we ask participants to commit to: a) Prepare in advance of the meeting - dedicate eight hours

Presentation LevelAll presentations designate the knowledge/skill level required of the participant as either: Introductory (I), Intermediate (M) or Advanced (A). These are used as a general guide only since attendees have very diverse educational and professional backgrounds.

Introductory (I): Presentations that all participants (including undergraduate students) with any appropriate background will be able to fully comprehend and/or appreciate. Presentations will discuss concepts that are considered basic skills/knowledge for those working in the field.

Intermediate (M): Presentations that participants may more fully comprehend/appreciate if they have at least some work experience in the topic to be discussed.

Advanced (A): Presentations consisting of concepts requiring a high-level of previous educational background, or work experience, in the particular area/topic to be discussed as well as being most geared for specialists and those in advanced stages of their career.

Presentation Type Descriptions*

● Case Study PresentationSessions use material from a single or a set of cases to illustrate clinical, theoretical or policy issues. These sessions may involve the audience in discussion of the case material presented.

● Media PresentationSession involving presentation of a segment of film, video, music, drama, literature, artwork or other form of media relevant to traumatic stress, along with discussion.

● Oral Paper PresentationIndividual presentations of no more than 15 minutes on a topic related to traumatic stress, typically including the presentation of research data.

● Panel PresentationSessions that include three to four participants discussing a common theme, issue or question. Panels may include short statements during which panelists outline diverse or similar approaches to the same question. Panels are typically more interactive than symposia, involving active discussion among the panelists.

● Poster PresentationIndividual presentation in a poster format on a topic related to traumatic stress, typically including the presentation of research data.

● Pre-Meeting Institute (PMI)Institutes are full- or half-day sessions that provide an opportunity for intensive training on topics integral to the conference program, presented by leaders in the field.

● SymposiumSession that includes a group of three to four sequential presentations, each related to the overall theme of the symposium.
