Hi! I am graduating with my masters in Marriage & Family therapy the end of February & want to continue my education with a PhD. I applied to Florida State but that did not work out. What other univerisites are researching trauma that may be a fit for me? I am looking for the PhD and not the DMFT as I want to teach afterwards. TIA
Susan,
I have modified the ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences Scale) to overcome some of the psychometric problems with the original questionnaire by dividing the multipart questions into single questions and adding a Likert scale for frequency of occurrence.
We have been working with a treatment program where we have found that subsets of the revision (ACES-R4) indicate increased risk for PTSD and major depression in adults entering treatment for substance use disorders. The ACES-R4 is available in the blog section of the website evincediagnostics.com.
Western Carolina University offers a PsD degree, and the chair of the department has an interest in trauma, so you might want to check out possibilities. The doctoral program at WCU does include a research dissertation.
Norman G. Hoffmann, Ph.D.
Thank you so much Norman G Hoffmann I will check it out! For some time, I have been interested in modifications to the ACES so glad to hear about your work. Further, I am interested in trauma across the lifespan so am very interested to look into WCUs PhD program. I currently live in the Charlotte area so glad to hear about the program. Thanks again!
