Dr. Boriskin will present “Beyond Evidenced-Based: Virtuosity in the Treatment of Trauma and Addiction.” This brief workshop will review the necessary foundations for understanding the scope and nature of PTSD as it co-occurs with addiction. In addition, attendees will be introduced to a multi-dimensional model that can assist in managing the volatile and complex challenges of treating veterans and civilians who struggle with their recovery. He is the author of "PTSD and Addiction: A Practical Guide for Clinicians and Counselors" and co-authored "At Wit’s End: What Families Need to Know When a Loved One is Diagnosed with Addiction and Mental Illness."
Dr. Boriskin is a licensed psychologist, addiction specialist, author, lecturer, and clinician with expertise in trauma, PTSD, and addictive disorders. He was a pioneer in extending the continuum of care and developed two extended residential treatment programs for co-occurring disorders. A passionate advocate for integrated treatment, he possessed a vision that predated the ongoing movement toward specialized and integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, particularly those involving trauma.
