Webinar: 2018 Arizona: The Clinician's Role and Treatment Practices in the Opioid Crisis

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is the latest science in smooth pursuit eye movement therapies. In November of 2015, ART was officially recognized at the federal level by the National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices (NREPP). Specifically, NREPP, which is part of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), found ART to be an effective psychotherapy for PTSD, depression, stress, and personal resilience. ART was also classified as a promising therapy for symptoms of phobia, panic, anxiety, sleep and wake disorders, disruptive and antisocial behaviors, general functioning and well-being. ART has been used at Walter-Reed Medical Center, Ft. Belvoir and was chosen from a panel of 4 other evidence-based therapies as most efficacious by researchers and peer review at the University of Southern Florida working from a 2.1-million-dollar grant issued by the US Government to find an effective brief modality to treat the deleterious effects of trauma.

This webinar will delve into the elements of ART and how effective treatments can be realized in an average of 3 sessions and often as quickly as one session using Accelerated Resolution Therapy’s systemic protocol.
