Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) may lead to a range of interconnected symptoms across several disorders, thus indicating their transdiagnostic nature (Frewen et al., 2021). Transdiagnostic symptoms co-occur and reinforce each other (Borsboom et al., 2021; Dalgleish et al., 2020); they are predicted by PTEs and are functionally related to traumatic symptoms (Williamson et al., 2021). This workshop will apply the transdiagnostic theoretical framework (Borsboom et al., 2021; Dalgleish et al., 2020) to the screening of responses to PTEs. The attendees will be engaged in hands-on training on screening for the transdiagnostic symptoms of PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, insomnia, self-harm, and substance use. Presenters will use the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) as a demonstration tool for evidence-based transdiagnostic screening. GPS is a transdiagnostic screening tool for measuring mental health responses to traumatic stress that consists of 17 symptom items, 5 risk factor items, and one functioning item. The GPS was developed by a group of international trauma experts through the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress using previously validated trauma assessment instruments.
The workshop will start with a presentation of the transdiagnostic theoretical framework for assessment of mental health responses to traumatic events. Next, the findings of the GPS validation studies in the US and internationally will be summarized. The main part of the workshop will engage attendees in hands-on training on administering the GPS and analyzing the total symptom scores and the domain scores for PTSD, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, dissociation, insomnia, and substance use. The GPS is freely available in 35 languages and the attendees will have an opportunity to select their preferred language version and to learn how to administer it. Attendees will discuss linguistic and cross-cultural adaptation of the GPS for diverse populations in international contexts. Presenters will provide guidance on analysis and meaningful interpretation of the screening results. Attendees will learn about applying the screening results in the decision-making process on further assessment of specific disorders and referrals for treatment.
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.5 CEs for Psychologists, 1.5 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, or 1.5 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs.
