Title Intending to talk while keeping silent – the aftermath of severe violence.
Description Complex, sequential trauma in childhood and adolescence forms the basis for a wide range of mental disorders, which also show up in adulthood. Severe mental and physical injuries in adults (eg, severe violence, torture, war, natural disasters) can also cause post-traumatic reactions.

Traumatic experiences provoke extraordinarily complex mental and physiological processes, which require a special understanding and specific, trauma-oriented procedures from experts. Specific expertise is required for the diagnosis, treatment and counseling of people with complex trauma disorders. The ICD's new edition, the ICD-11, has attempted to take into account the new scientific findings in this area and has introduced new diagnoses (for example, complex PTSD or partial dissociative identity disorder). The scientific findings will be presented and discussed in the seminar.

The aim of the seminar is to sensitize psychology students to the consequences of severe violence and to create a traumainformed consciousness with knowledge of the latest developments in this area early in education. The scientific basis for this is being developed. A regular and interactive participation is expected.
