Tavistock Trauma Service: external lectures on trauma (CPD45)
Looking for new ways to refresh your knowledge and practice?
Hear from a range of external speakers based in the UK and beyond in our external lectures on trauma.
Hosted by the Tavistock Trauma Service, this lecture series invites a range of speakers – from a variety of backgrounds and expertise – who’ll bring their own understanding of trauma, share new ideas, perspectives and research. Each lecture is delivered via Zoom, followed by a Q&A – where you’ll have the chance to raise your questions live.
Whilst emphasising an adapted psychoanalytic approach with multi-modality and trauma-informed care, these lectures use neurobiological and attachment theory to understand the impact of trauma, particularly historical child sexual abuse.
