The Etiotropic Trauma Management™* Series
Annotated Contents
By Jesse W. Collins II
Introduction
Establishment of the Etiotropic trauma treatment and management (crisis management systems as in schools and the military) epistemology and paradigm began in 1979 with the initiation of the development of Trauma Resolution Therapy™.* Thanks to the State of Texas’ facility licensure and Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations credentialing and managerial influences on ETM TRT’s application in our 6 licensed psychological trauma and family Chemical Dependency treatment facilities, I was able to document under close and rigorous supervision for compliance (annual audits) every step of the development process. That documentation is consolidated in the Etiotropic Trauma Management Series. This paper is the annotated contents for the Series.
Every book in this contents is provided in the ETM Tutorial for free online reading. Additionally, the materials noted herein support professional applications of ETM TRT. Although the information supports non ETM TRT trained and certified researchers, it is not intended for general interest reading. Nor may it be used in self help applications. Not only is ETM TRT not a self help program, but the model must only be used in conjunction with facilitation by a government licensed clinical professional who is also trained and certified by the ETM Certifying Authority as authorized to apply ETM TRT to patients. ETM TRT is strictly administered to the public only through professional management and clinical services provided by licensed professionals and facilities after proper evaluations have been conducted for determining the appropriate application of ETM TRT for the trauma affected individual patient and family. When I have completed training professional staff to administer ETM TRT in all geographical areas of the country, then I will publish an information based book for full distribution to the public.
This annotated contents frames our work of the past 30 plus years. It presents the first purely Etiotropic clinical model, management paradigm and attendant epistemology created in and primarily for western civilization. I am the author having sole responsibility for the writing. My wife, Nancy Carson, participated in the founding and development of the treatment chain where the original Etiotropic focus was born. She also read and edited the beginning manuscripts produced in the 1980s. Hence, I include her as a co author on the original books and articles. Following her struggle with Breast Cancer, she now has Lymphoma Leukemia. Because of that disease’s influences coupled with severe head injury received in an auto accident in 1997, she is retired from the management – dissemination effort which makes ETM TRT available globally to appropriate cultures.
For the past 25 years, Craig Carson has provided the professional training described herein, making ETM TRT a well known modality in certain portions of the trauma treatment and management world. For that wonderful contribution to this thesis and helping application, Nancy and I consider him to be one of the original developers of the training component of this model, paradigm and epistemology. Without S. Craig Carson, there would be no individual and systemic cure for psychological trauma and PTSD today.
Except for the independent studies, public and private
school districts’ trainings of their managements and counselors in ETM TRT, and
academic presentations hosted by the referenced educational institutions, the
activities summarized in this series were privately funded.

ETM TRT Counselor Training
and Certification School; Locally attending versions included ·
University of
Houston 3 month 2 hr. per class version. An advanced component of the U of H
Chemical Dependency Counselor Training Curriculum supporting counselor state
certification - licensing; 1985 – 1990; Houston, TX. Following the
development of the 5 consecutive day school for
combat crisis managers described next, the counselor training focus from this
curriculum was adapted into the 5 day training format. ·
The Department
of Defense began an independent study
of ETM TRT by Chaplains and PTSD clinical experts who were commanding
officers of the principal military educational and medical treatment
institutions (for example, Walter Reed Hospital and Brooks Burn Center) in
May, 1990; to facilitate that effort, I created a 44 class hour school which
could be completed in one 5 consecutive day period; I also authored an
attendant consultation report that provided theory and guidelines for the
application of ETM TRT starting in theater at the battle site and continuing
the trauma’s address in affected individuals and systems all the way home.
This combat component is now consolidated into the crisis management and ETM
Strategic application text referenced above as Book IV. ·
Created
originally for School Districts in Texas and eventually training and
certifying approximately 1200 educational managers (Superintendants,
Principals, Counselors and medical personnel), this 52 hour in one week
version focused on implementation of ETM TRT in schools for the primary
purposes of intervening upon, reversing and then expunging psychological
trauma’s deleterious management systemic effects caused by criminal, drug,
mental health, accident and natural disaster initiated violence. Recommended
since 1989 by ETM TRT trained large TX school districts, for example, McAllen
and La Joya, which were also vulnerable to the drug
trade and violence along the Texas southern border with Mexico. Another (in
addition to the Department of Defense study referenced above) independent study was conducted by an
El Paso, TX school district between 1992 and 1994. Craig trained 50
counselors, principals, superintendents, and medical personnel who managed
violence and traumas’ effects on 15,000 students. The study’s conclusions and
recommendations were announced at the Texas Education Agency (TEA) annual
conference (6000 Attendees) for Superintendants, Principals, Counselors and
medical personnel held on September 4, 1994. In the study’s conclusions, ETM
TRT was stated to be the best trauma management model available nationwide
for the resolution and removal of individual and systemic traumas’ effects on
students, teachers and all educational management personnel. The model was
stated to be effective for the dissolution of violence. ETM TRT achieved all
its goals. The study recommended that “TEA train and certify in ETM TRT’s
administration every educational manager in every school district in Texas,”
totaling approximately 25,000 educational managers in 1165 districts
statewide. By the end of 1995, we had established ETM TRT in 165 of those
total Texas districts. Regrettably, the illnesses and injuries affecting
Nancy and me ended the school district ETM TRT training effort in early 1996,
excepting 3 follow up trainings that Craig conducted through 1999 in Texas’
Region 2 (Texas Gulf Coast) where the ETM TRT independent districts
networking model was being employed over 74 connecting districts. |

Resolution Therapy and the Etiotropic epistemology as a new issue of study in
the peer journal medium, ETM TRT theory is not presented accurately. |

The Trauma Resolution
Therapy (TRT) Patient Education Program
These booklets were developed between 1981
and 1986 and then formally published in 1988. They support patient and
therapist uses and applications of ETM TRT. Originally, the materials were
combined into larger books that included instructions for addressing all 5 TRT
phases. However, because of the particular nuances of defense employed by our
patient populations, when clients reviewed the entire approach (all 5 phases)
at once, they focused on completing the structural component of TRT (filling in
the blanks) more assiduously than did they concentrate on the most important
resolution element of the therapy. It included the temporary incremental
induction of fusion between patient and therapist – or group members when TRT
facilitated their daedal approach to the most critically damaged elements of
the reality system. In that kind of misuse of TRT, the model was inadvertently
turned to meet Cognitive Behavioral Therapy goals otherwise attending
Nosotropic clinical environments. That is, patients used the structure to try
to control symptoms rather than to resolve the trauma. In contrast to the
Nosotropic modality, the goals of TRT’s Etiotropically focused method only used
the structure and interactions with the therapist and group members to reverse
the trauma’s etiology. After thoroughly learning that lesson by 1985, we
returned to the use of the individual booklets distributed as the patient
progressed through the etiology – survival response sequela, and made the
larger full application view available for review in the online ETM TRT
Tutorial. They are available only through ETM TRT Certified Counselors as
clinical aids, having been consistently so since 1988.
