In the Judith Herman video (Pt. 1), the successful Netherlands Center for Chronic Early Childhood Traumatization, Landelijk Centrum voor Vroegkinderlijke Chronische Traumatiseringz (LCVT) model, is briefly lauded and discussed.
"Recently, several groups of Dutch stakeholders – including clinicians, patient organizations, policymakers and researchers – have joined together to develop the...(LCVT) model, under which treatment, research, training and innovation are concentrated into Tertiary Referral Centers for Early Childhood Trauma (TRTCs) in various parts of the country. This initiative could serve as an inspiration to people in other countries. The model has been endorsed by patient organizations, health insurers, the national health care inspectorate, and the professional trade association of mental health care services. In developing the model, we devoted considerable effort to contacts with pivotal officials in health insurance and government circles.
"In 2006 the Dutch national authorities...designated the treatment of the psychological sequelae of chronic childhood abuse as a national focus in mental health care. Treatment in TRTCs has now been incorporated into the Dutch standard health insurance package in a growth model.... Within five to seven years, about 20 TRTCs should be operational, forming a nationwide network of qualified specialist treatment providers."
