Services offered by the Ross Institute include:

The Ross Institute can consult with programs that are based on the Trauma Model of psychopathology and Dr. Ross's Trauma Model Therapy. According to this model, trauma is a major risk factor for many types of mental disorders and needs to be addressed in treatment. Many testable scientific predictions follow from the model, as outlined in Dr. Ross's publications.
