COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this workshop, we focus on special topics in KAP, including attachment patterns and working with attachment issues in KAP, exploring the relationship of substance misuse and trauma, and working with issues of substance misuse using KAP. We focus on understanding advanced topics in KAP integration and the possibility of using KAP in the treatment of trauma and PTSD.

Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Describe two ways in which avoidant attachment patterns can be addressed in KAP. 
  2. Describe two ways in which trauma can emerge in a KAP session.
  3. Describe two steps that a KAP clinic can take to help mitigate the risk of ketamine addiction.
  4. Describe two primary ways in which the history of trauma changed the mental health field after 1980.
  5. List three commonly occurring obstacles that might arise in KAP integration sessions.
  6. Describe two problems that might arise if therapists do not spend time helping clients integrate their KAP experiences.
