In addition, Meadows’ Senior Fellow, Dr. Shelley Uram, and Dr. Jon Caldwell, The Meadows’ Psychiatrist, will be presenting “A Neurobiological Perspective on Trauma and Attachment and the Role of Mindfulness in the Healing Process.”
“The 24th Annual International Trauma Conference will once again feature the leading edge neuroscientists and treatment developers to bring you the latest research on how trauma affects mental and brain functioning, as well as how effective treatment can reverse the profound effects of trauma on mind, brain, body and soul,” said Bessel A. van der Kolk.
