CANCELLED due to speaker illness

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating and dysfunctional psychological response to the experience of extremely threatening events. This talk will begin by outlining a broadly cognitive model of human emotions. This will then be used as a context to explore how the emotion system is disrupted by the experience of extreme events along various continua giving rise to conditions such as PTSD . Finally, treatment of PTSD will be discussed.

Optional reading:

Dalgleish, T. & Power, M.J. (2004). Emotion-specific and emotion-non-specific components of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD): implications for a taxonomy of related psychopathology. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 42, 1069-1088.
