Course Description

 

In our endeavor to provide adequate treatment models to in-custody and formerly incarcerated individuals, it because necessary to consider Active Traumatic Stress Disorder.  And to become more aware of the impact of trauma prior to incarceration, and the day-to-day trauma imposed by the reality of human confinement. The Gorski-CENAPS Model of Recovery and Relapse Prevention is applicable to behavior and substance use disorder. Gorski’s Model reinforces prosocial thinking and provides a road map tailored to the individual to stay in and benefit from the parallel process. We will explore how mandated/in custody client require special concentration on specific treatment strategies that work and those that don’t work when confronted with resistance, denial, minimization, and anger; suggest other approaches and strategies that specifically address issues.
