Some excellent presenters at this conference on attachment: "how integration, emergence, plasticity, and transformational spiral

Posted Dec 10 2009 12:00am

Understanding attachment theory is helpful not only for mental health professionals. A couple of months ago, I listened to Dan Siegel's The Neurobiology of "We": How Relationships, the Mind, and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are in my car whenever I was out driving to meetings, and found it to be very enlightening about how we interact with one another and help with each other's integration.

Now I see that Siegel and several others, including Norman Doidge, are speakers at the 9th Annual Attachment Conference at UCLA. Download the brochure here [pdf]. The title of the conference is "The Wholeness of Mind, Brain, Body, and Human-Relatedness: Expanding Affect Tolerance in the Therapeutic Relationship." More:

March 5-7, 2010

Join us at the forefront of a paradigm shift , where our understanding of trauma and attachment disorders is being deepened by a focus on well-being, human potential, and the human spirit.

Therapists attending this event learn:

  • To observe facial, vocal, and behavioral features that inform identification of physiological state
  • To recognize dissociation when it is pathologically expressed in patients
  • How survival mechanisms interfere with establishing safe relationships
  • Three ways to use play in clinical practice

The 9th Annual Attachment Conference features three days of presentations by renowned clinicians and researchers who provide insight and clarity into the psychotherapeutic practices that nurture the development of emergent therapies.

All presenters have written extensively on affective neuroscience, early development, affect regulation, relational trauma, psychopathogenesis, and psychodynamic models of the treatment of both mind and body.

In addition to deepening our understanding of trauma and its treatment, the conference features research, discussion, and all new presentations on the plasticity of the integrated mind, body, and brain, relating to the exploration of the human spirit.

Find out how integration, emergence, plasticity, and transformational spirals translate into well-being, joy, play, mindfulness, flourishing health, resilience, vitality, and creativity.
