UBH Denton Ross Trauma Program

 Civilian Program  Www.Ubhdenton.com

The Ross Institute for Trauma was created to provide educational services, research and quality clinical treatment in the areas of trauma, addictions and co-occurring disorders.

The program is under the direction of Colin A. Ross, M.D., an internationally renowned clinician, speaker, researcher and author.

The program is based on the “Trauma Model” developed by Dr. Ross. This model emphasizes the effects of trauma as multiple symptoms and addictions expressed by multiple diagnoses.

The Trauma Model recognizes that human personality is composed of different elements that shape individual thought and behavior. Unresolved trauma interrupts this normal psychological structure, resulting in unhealthy fragmentation of thought, feeling, memory and perception.

The Ross Institute for Trauma does not utilize ineffective regressive treatment modalities, such as focusing on the retrieval of repressed memories. Instead, treatment team members work collaboratively utilizing a multidisciplinary focus to ensure an integrated approach emphasizing acute stabilization, improved emotional regulation and increased ego strength.

While in the program, patients are expected to be responsible for their behaviors and committed to treatment.

Referring therapists are an integral part of the treatment team. The Trauma Program works closely with referral sources to ensure continuity of care and to formulate efficient treatment recommendations.
