Conference Goals:

These 2-day intensive conferences with internationally renowned presenters aim to provide up-to-date scientific research, treatment, resources and networking opportunities to keep abreast of significant developments in traumatology and specifically traumatic dissociation and the disruption to attachment and relationships.
