Course Description
60 Minute Lecture
In this highly informative and interesting session, Drs. Lanius and van der Kolk meet to discuss their views of trauma and trauma treatment. They cover such topics as emerging biomarkers in the EEG and fMRI analyses of trauma victims. This discussion includes the cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms often seen in people with trauma histories that are associated with these brain biomarkers. They then proceed to a discussion of psychophysiological interventions that, based on research and their experience, are seen as part of the therapeutic armamentarium needed to address the symptoms associated with complex trauma.
Bessel van der Kolk, MD
Bessel A. van der Kolk M.D. is a pioneer clinician, researcher and teacher in the area of posttraumatic stress. His work uniquely integrates developmental, neurobiological, psychodynamic, somatic and interpersonal aspects of the impact of trauma and its treatment.
His #1 New York Times Science best seller, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Treatment of Trauma transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including body work, psychodrama, mindfulness techniques, parts work, yoga, and neurofeedback, Dr. van der Kolk and his various collaborators have published extensively on the impact of trauma on development, such as dissociative problems, borderline personality and self-mutilation, cognitive development, memory, and the psychobiology of trauma. He has published over 150 peer reviewed scientific articles on such diverse topics as neuroimaging, self-injury, memory, neurofeedback, Developmental Trauma, yoga, theater and EMDR.
He is founder of the Trauma Center (now the Trauma Research Foundation) in Boston, MA; past President of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University Medical School. He regularly teaches at universities and hospitals around the world.
