Perhaps no one in our field has brought so much clinical curiosity, iconoclastic spirit, and sheer chutzpah to the treatment of trauma as Bessel van der Kolk. A classically trained psychodynamic psychiatrist, van der Kolk early on challenged the therapeutic establishment’s standard method of treatment—all talk therapy, all the time. Instead, he began integrating into his practice an eclectic mix of mind-body techniques, including yoga, mindfulness, EMDR, neurofeedback, sensorimotor therapy, martial arts, and theater. His pioneering approach, once considered radical—if not scandalous—has become widely adopted, making van der Kolk one of the world’s most eminent trauma experts. The author of the bestselling The Body Keeps the Score, he’s a past president of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and professor of psychiatry at Boston University Medical School.
In his address, van der Kolk will explore the therapeutic importance of revitalizing and energizing clients by borrowing tools from the creative arts and somatic approaches to bring people more fully into the present moment, allowing them to embrace their lives in new ways.

Bessel van der Kolk, MD, has spent his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of potentially effective treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.
In 1984, he set up one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to the study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, which has trained numerous researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress, and which has been continually funded to research the impact of traumatic stress and effective treatment interventions. He did the first studies on the effects of SSRIs on PTSD; was a member of the first neuroimaging team to investigate how trauma changes brain processes, and did the first research linking BPD and deliberate self-injury to trauma and neglect in early childhood.
Much of his research has focused on how trauma has a different impact at different stages of development, and that disruptions in care-giving systems have additional deleterious effects that need to be addressed for effective intervention. In order to promote a deeper understanding of the impact of childhood trauma and to foster the development and execution of effective treatment interventions, he initiated the process that led to the establishment of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), a Congressionally mandated initiative that now funds approximately 150 centers specializing in developing effective treatment interventions, and implementing them in a wide array of settings, from juvenile detention centers to tribal agencies, nationwide.
He has focused on studying treatments that stabilize physiology, increase executive functioning and help traumatized individuals to feel fully alert to the present. This has included an NIMH-funded study on EMDR and NCCAM funded study of yoga, and, in recent years, the study of neurofeedback to investigate whether attentional and perceptual systems (and the neural tracks responsible for them) can be altered by changing EEG patterns.
His efforts resulted in the establishment of Trauma Center, that consist of a well-trained clinical team specializing in the treatment of children and adults with histories of child maltreatment, that applies treatment models that are widely taught and implemented nationwide, a research lab that studies the effects of neurofeedback and MDMA on behavior, mood, and executive functioning, and numerous trainings nationwide to a variety of mental health professional, educators, parent groups, policy makers, and law enforcement personnel.
Dr. van der Kolk is the author of the NY Times best-selling book The Body Keeps The Score.
