General description

​

The main objective of this course is to deliver the theoretical and epistemological foundations of trauma-informed Clinical Social Work from a strengths-based and narrative perspective. The centrality of the course is aimed at providing a comprehensive and critical look at the effects of traumatic experiences experienced by the people with whom we work, whether for psychosocial, health, judicial, both public and private contexts, in order to grant a elementary approach from a contemporary practice that emphasizes the resources, skills and local knowledge of the various human systems. This course is enriched by having been taught at the Latin American Center for Social Work (CELATS) in Lima, Peru; as well as in its latest versions dictated in Chile for various colleagues from Latin America and specialized programs for psychosocial care for children.

Rationale

​

During the last time, contemporary Social Work and other human sciences have been reflecting on the need to make efforts to socialize and update content and methodologies that can do justice to the new problems and challenges that our society experiences with respect to mental health. . Within this problem, it is detected that many people in today's society are victims and witnesses of various forms of individual, family, collective and structural trauma; which mark the life experience in a significant way. It also identifies the need for an integrated look at the understanding of the traumas faced by current families in Chilean society and to avoid the fragmentation of their effects, understanding that traumatic experiences generate important changes and effects not only in people's lives but also that also in his nuclear, extended and host family. According to some research and conceptualizations carried out with Wilson, Pence and Conradi (2013), a trauma is a subjective threat to the physical integrity of a person or a loved one, indicating that a large percentage of people who seek social services are victims and witness to various traumatic events such as domestic violence, physical abuse,
sexual abuse and violence, neglect and political and community violence.

In addition, many of these people present difficulties in their mental health, tending to the problematic consumption of substances, or they can enhance eating disorders as responses to traumatic experiences that have not been identified during intervention processes in a public or private context. Thus, at the international level, 50% to 60% of women are currently receiving some type of psychiatric care, and 40% to 60% of women attend outpatient mental health services and 55% to 90% of women With problematic use, he has been a victim of sexual trauma and domestic violence, all of these elements being part of a great problem to face. Additionally, the consequences of exposure to various traumas finally have a relational impact at the family level, mainly when there are experiences related to abandonment and parental neglect. Recent studies (Van der kolk, 2020) show that parental neglect and emotional neglect generate emotional, neurobiological, social and relational consequences that last into adulthood if they are not addressed during childhood in a protective and supportive context.

​

In accordance with the foregoing, this course seeks to contribute to updating knowledge and basic tools that will make it possible to strengthen Clinical Social Work informed by trauma in mental health and in psychosocial contexts, mainly to strengthen the practice that people regularly face. that experience traumatic effects. Given this, the perspective used to understand all these approaches and phenomena is from a specialized disciplinary perspective, ethically collaborative and socially responsible. Which can be enriched through a narrative vision and focused on strengths, approaches that enrich Clinical Social Work from a humanly responsible, collective and ethically sensitive vision to the political and gender issues that are present in the problems of structural violence and violence. of mental health in our contemporary society.
