Ricky Greenwald is a clinical psychologist. An expert on

Greenwald has developed various assessment instruments for children's post-traumatic symptoms, including the Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS)[1] and Parent Report of [the child's] Posttraumatic Symptoms (PROPS),^[2] Lifetime Incidence of Traumatic Events for students or parents (LITE-S and LITE-P), and Problem Rating Scale.^[3] These have been widely translated, and the CROPS & PROPS are available in about 20 languages.

Treatment

Greenwald was a pioneer in developing EMDR’s use with children and adolescents. He developed the Fairy Tale Model of trauma-informed treatment as well as progressive counting (PC), a trauma therapy based on the counting method.^[4] In recent years, he has been pioneering intensive trauma-focused therapy in the format of full consecutive days.

Training

Greenwald developed the full-package model of EMDR training, to include all parts of the training as well as follow-up consultation; this training approach has been widely adopted internationally. He also developed PC training, along with a trainer training system and a PC certification. Greenwald offers a six-day small-group Trauma Trainers Retreat every year, to mentor aspiring trauma experts.

Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute

In 2002, Greenwald founded the Child Trauma Institute (later renamed the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute), a nonprofit organization in Northampton, MA, USA. Initially solely a training institute, it is now also active in research on treatment and training and in providing intensive trauma-focused therapy.^[5]

Greenwald is an affiliate professor at the University at Buffalo School of Social Work, served on the board of directors for the EMDR International Association, and is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, Division 56.
