Attachment & Developmental TraumaDevelopmental Trauma

Neurodevelopmental research has established that,because of the brain's extreme malleability and sensitivity to experience in early childhood, traumatic events in the first few years of life have long-term impacts on emotional, behavioral, cognitive, social and physiological functioning. This is particularly likely if the events are severe, unpredictable, or persistent (Perry, 1994). This workshop will introduce the neurobiological effects of early developmental trauma upon the brain and resultant behavior. Methods for effectively working with children and adults who have suffered from ongoing, recent and past neurodevelopmental trauma will be discussed. The power of attachment as intervention will be examined.
