of Qualifications and Expertise
Since 1980, Dr. Gaston has learned diverse approaches of psychotherapy through sustained and comprehensive training programs and supervision spanning over a total of 13 years.
Since 1986, she has been diagnosing and treating individuals presenting with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, , and attending annual meetings of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, ISTSS.
In 1988, Dr. Gaston completed a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in PTSD and psychotherapy research at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, University of California, San Francisco, under the supervision of Mardi J. Horowitz, M.D., author of "Stress Response Syndrome", and Dr. Charles R. Marmar, M.D., ex-president of the International Society for Psychotherapy Research and ISTSS. She acquired an expertise in the study of the process and outcome of psychotherapy for both depression and PTSD. Afterward, she became Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
In 1990, she founded a specialized clinic, TRAUMATYS, in Montreal, Canada. In a 2-year advanced training program, she has trained over 100 experienced clinicians in diagnosing and treating thousands of persons presenting with PTSD.
Since 1992, Dr. Gaston has worked as a
forensic psychologist with respect to PTSD and related issues. She have
testified in many court settings in Canada.
As a researcher, Dr. Gaston collaborated with many colleagues in diverse settings, and participated in the multiple stages of a clinical research (from elaborating research projects and submitting grant proposals, to writing up manuscripts and presenting findings). She constructed and carried out two clinical trials. Her main research topic was the alliance and its interaction with technique, as they contribute to better outcomes in psychotherapy. Recently, Dr. Gaston has developed psychometric tools on the MMPI to help diagnosing both acute and chronic PTSD in civilians.
From 1998 to 2007, Dr. Gaston has taught about PTSD, personality disorders, traumatic memories, and ethics, across North America.
Since 2007, Dr. Gaston has maintained a discrete involvement in TRAUMATYS, dedicating her life mostly to meditation.
