PRESENTED AT THE 2010 ASSOCIATION OF TRAUMATIC STRESS SPECIALISTS CONFERENCE (ATSS): TORONTO, ONTARIO
REVIEW: "BEST PRESENTATION AT CONFERENCE. ATSS MUST HAVE ERIC ARAUZ BACK!"

The International Trauma of Psychiatric Treatment Training-focuses on the link between Child Abuse at the hands of a mentally ill parent(Eric's father suffered from mental illness and attempted to murder Eric in his youth) and Adult Mental Illness and  TRAUMA INFORMED RECOVERY as Baseline Re-creation.  The training uses the vernacular of trauma to describe the trauma induced in the current mental health system involving hospitalization to offer care givers a more uniform vernacular to reach the client with serious mental illness unable to internally dialogue with themselves and see how mental health consumers view TREATMENT AS TRAUMA and TREATMENT AS CAPTIVITY.    

Eric uses his original concepts of the:

• TRAUMA INFORMED RECOVERY
•  Trauma of Delusions
•  PTSD from Psychiatric Treatment
• The Dante and Virgil model of recovery
• Communal Trauma
• Existential Illiteracy
• Applied Existentialism
•  Tripartite Identity Loss combined with Hanah Arendt's Banality of Evil
•  Suicide by Ommission
• Occupational Divinity

to better aid trauma specialists, MD's, psych nurses and others to reach his population of disconnected and disassociated patients attempting to buy-in to their life and create a baseline of healthy experience in the day when one may have never existed.
