This 12-month continuing education study group provides clinicians with a structured, integrative approach to understanding and treating Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).

Meeting monthly, participants will examine core theoretical frameworks, review foundational and emerging literature, and identify converging principles across modalities.

The session is divided into two structured components:

1. Didactic & Comparative Learning (30 minutes)
Participants will:

Review assigned readings (books and supplemental literature)
Examine key concepts related to Complex PTSD
Compare and contrast theoretical frameworks across modalities
Identify shared mechanisms and points of divergence between models

2. Case Conceptualization & Clinical Application (90 minutes)
Participants will:

Apply theoretical concepts to clinical practice
Engage in structured case consultation and discussion
Collaboratively refine treatment planning strategies
Link case material directly to the monthly topic

When live cases are not presented, structured or historical cases will be used to ensure consistent application of learning objectives
