IVAT Working with Trauma in High-Conflict or Forensic Contexts

Training Overview

This advanced training examines the complexities of working with trauma in high-conflict and forensic contexts, with the purpose of enhancing clinicians’ ability to conduct accurate, objective, and defensible evaluations. Key topics include the impact of ongoing litigation on symptom presentation, differentiating trauma-related responses from response bias or secondary gain, and navigating competing narratives while maintaining a trauma-informed framework. The presentation integrates current research and best practices in forensic assessment, emphasizing ethical considerations, limits of clinical inference, and strategies for managing ambiguity in high-stakes cases. Participants will leave with practical tools to strengthen clinical decision-making and produce clear, well-supported opinions that withstand legal scrutiny.
