Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model Training: 2024 Fall Session - Live Online via Zoom

The Program will present theory related to the relational trauma and abuse often experienced by those in relationship where there is chronic infidelity and/or sexual compulsion/addiction. Appropriate treatment theory models and techniques will be explored, which are empirically sound and researched. Relevant ethical standards and potential issues will be identified and explored. We will discuss potential cultural/gender/sexual orientation issues related to this population which can impact treatment seeking behaviors and access. We will examine the assessment and treatment of trauma and other possible co-occurring mental health disorders for the partners, the person with the compulsive behaviors, and the larger system. Couples impact and treatment interventions will be presented as well. We will explore the larger system issues that can impact help-seeking for the partner, who is often isolated or marginalized in the community at large as well as in treatment settings. We will present information and strategies regarding prevention and intervention, including the role of advocacy, community education, and research to better serve this population.

Participants will:

• gain understanding of the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model of partner treatment

• gain understanding and skills related to integrating the MPT Model in the treatment of the person with the addiction

• gain understanding of empirically researched theories and skills related to effective trauma response and treatment that promote trauma resolution

• obtain information about the clinical needs of special populations of partners of sexual addicts

• gain understanding of the unique ethical issues related to treatment of partners, including the issue of potential treatment-induced trauma
