Cultural Competence & Healing Culturally-Based Trauma with EMDR Therapy: Theory, Strategies & Practicum Experience

This workshop will help identify client manifestations of stigma including internalized oppression and externalized prejudice towards others as they link to client difficulties. Keys to assessment, preparation and target selection will be covered. Research supported information and theory from the fields of social psychology and social work will be integrated within the AIP model to predict the profound and unique capacity EMDR offers for addressing culturally based trauma. Relevant theory and practical strategies will be illuminated by case examples including clips from video-taped clinical sessions.
