Cultural Clinical Psychology and PTSD

Course overview

This course looks critically at how culture impacts on the way posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related disorders are diagnosed and treated. There have been important advances in clinical treatment and research on PTSD, partly as a result of researchers and clinicians increasingly taking into account how "culture matters". This course presents recent research and practical approaches on key topics, including: How culture shapes mental health and recovery, How to integrate culture and context into PTSD theory, How trauma-related distress is experienced and expressed in different cultures, reflecting local values, idioms, and metaphors and How to integrate cultural dimensions into psychological interventions.
