Charles Figley, Ph.D. on History and Active Ingredients of the Power Therapies
Free Streaming Audio: A Founder of Traumatology Speaks on Trauma Treatment
Design & audio: Robert A. Yourell
Charles Figley, Ph.D. is a founder of the field of traumatology and a distinguished university professor. He codeveloped with Joyce Carbonelle the Active Ingredients Project that originally drew attention to therapies becoming recognized as faster and less-invasive approaches to PTSD and anxiety in particular.
This is an insightful, entertaining, and moving presentation with a Q&A session.
The talk took place at the first Power Therapy Conference (Denver, Colorado, USA, 1997). It is presented here because of its historical and inspirational value, and because it covers issues of enduring importance to the field of psychotherapy. "Power Therapies" is an outmoded term that was originally inspired by the contrast between emerging approaches to trauma and existing efforts at the time.
