Many criminal defendants have suffered complex trauma that must be explicated through presentence reports by mitigation experts. 

This seminar will focus on major approaches to conceptualize the harm that many of our clients have suffered in childhood through the ACE criteria and a developmental perspective focusing on the effects of abuse and neglect.

2. Understand a developmental perspective of abuse and neglect in the context of complex trauma.
