Enhancing Trauma Treatment invites dr. Iva Bicanic

Understanding the complexity of sexual abuse: “It isn’t about the spider or the fly. It is about the web”. In this webinar Iva Bicanic Ph.D. presents the latest state of affairs on forensic, medical and psychological aspects of sexual trauma, supported by findings from scientific research. The participants will learn to understand the specific dynamics of sexual abuse such as shame, guilt, secrecy, loyalty, anxiety, denial, victim blaming, grooming and ambivalence. Also, participants will learn about the impact of sexual abuse and how to provide psychological support to underage and adult victims of sexual violence, in the acute phase and later in live.

The second part of the webinar is presented by Ad de Jongh Ph.D. and focused on the treatment of the consequences of sexual abuse using EMDR therapy in early childhood. Participants of the webinar learn about treatment strategies that can be applied, even in the case of dissociation or severe comorbidity. The webinar is supported by a variety of video clips showing the use of effective EMDR (2.0) techniques for the application with victims of sexual violence.
