Developmental Theory, Attachment Issues in Treatment

Attachment Theory is a psychological theory that provides a descriptive and empirical framework for interpersonal relationships throughout the life span. The central theme of Attachment Theory is that the infant-caregiver relationship informs styles of attachment which impact behaviors later in life. This course will explore in depth the work of John Bowlby, the first attachment theorist; Mary Ainsworth and her ground-breaking “strange situation” study; Margaret Main; and John Fonagy. The implications for psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and parental support will be addressed.

Basic Concepts: Freud, Erikson, Piaget

This course explores impairment of functioning and other symptoms in relationship to their genesis during the socialization process, from a physical, energetic perspective. We will work with memory recollection and in-the-moment re-experiencing of painful past episodes—where cognitive understanding is coupled with appropriate affect (abreaction). This working through process will be examined and discussed in detail, along with specific techniques for dealing with negative emotions and helping patients dispel the tension and confusion associated with repressed intra-psychic conflict.
