Dr. Jakupcak will review symptoms and features of trauma responses, including DSM-V criteria for PTSD, subthreshold PTSD (adjustment disorder), and depression. He will also present and discuss signs and features of high-risk behaviors such as suicidal behaviors and non-suicidal self-harm, aggression and interpersonal violence, risk-taking behaviors, and substance abuse common in trauma-exposed populations. Dr. Jakupcak will review theories and research specific to emotional dysregulation as an overlapping and core feature of trauma responses and discuss the associations between emotional dysregulation and high-risk behaviors. Finally, he will describe important considerations and review evidence-based treatment strategies used to target high-risk behaviors prior or concurrent to trauma-focused psychotherapy interventions.
Clinical case examples will be used to illustrate assessment and clinical intervention strategies, and audience participation will be encouraged throughout the presentation with role-playing and open discussions.

Given my previous work with clients who self-harmed, it was interesting to hear the presenters thoughts on self-harm outside of the context of suicide and more in the context of a reinforced release from internal pain (much like addiction). - Catherine Gruener, NCC
