Training Courses
The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) offers a comprehensive set of training courses, taught live online and in-person, which equip mental health professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively treat individuals suffering from complex trauma and dissociative disorders.
The Professional Training Program (PTP) is designed to advance understanding and treatment of trauma and dissociation. The program is a progression of four, discussion-based courses: The Complexities of Complex Trauma, From Complex Trauma to Dissociative Disorders, Advanced Topics in Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders, and Master Seminar: Complex Posttraumatic and Dissociative Disorders. The interactive format of these courses ensures that participants engage directly with instructors and peers, facilitating a rich learning experience.
ISSTD also offers specialized training such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy approved by EMDR Association International (EMDRIA) and training in clinical hypnosis approved by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). These courses are tailored to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills in specific therapeutic approaches used in the treatment of complex trauma and dissociation.
