Monday March 31, 9am to Noon ($60)
There is a growing body of research pointing to the first 18 months of life as critical to the psychobiological and psychosocial development of the personality. Through an increasing use of neuroimaging technology, audio and video frame analysis, new EEG and other technologies, scientists are beginning to clarify the experience-dependent processes of human brain development and how these processes are inextricably connected to our earliest attachment relationships. In this workshop, by way of the latest research studies on attachment, psychobiology, and brain development, you will learn why mental health professionals must begin to think in terms of early prevention of psychopathology. Special attention will be paid to chronic, relational trauma and the development of personality disorders.
