Attachment and Psychopathology in Adulthood, London (UK)

Attachment, Psychopathology and Treatment in Adulthood

This 1-day course focuses on using aspects of adult development to enhance treatment of psychological maladaptation of adults and their families (including child protection, psychiatric disorder, and criminality). It builds on Attachment, Neurodevelopment, & Psychopathology in Childhood, weaving together theory, human development, assessment, case examples, and treatment applications to reframe maladaptive behaviour in terms of strategies for self-protection. The course emphasizes the process of adaptation and ways to moderate developmental pathways that carry risk for psychopathology. General and Family Functional Formulations will be introduced with examples used to highlight DMM Integrative Treatment.

Pre-requisite: completion of ‘Attachment & Psychopathology‘ (prior to 2019) or ‘Attachment, Neurodevelopment, & Psychopathology (children)’ training is a prerequisite to this course.
