ILAIMH's Annual Spring Seminar Series Presents: The Neurological Underpinnings of Misbehavior for Traumatized Children: An Attachment Perspective

Description

The presentation will examine…
- Current research on neurology and the developing young child in the context of trauma.
- Misbehavior of young children will be re-conceptualized as a simultaneous bid for emotion, co-regulation, and protection from harm against a caregiver.
- The use of traditional behavioral approaches to parenting, and potential reasons for misbehavior to increase with traumatized children due to attachment injuries.
- What it is like to be a parent who is caring for a child who is traumatized and does not feel secure.
- Case studies examined from the speaker’s clinical experience as a family therapist and personal experience as a parent.
