Description: Understanding and working with Abuse (Emotional, Physical and Sexual) and Neglect in the Early Years of Life from Conception to Age Four.
Educational goals: Demonstrates credibility through the involvement of the broader mental health practices, education and scientific communities in studying or applying the findings, practices or theoretical concepts: The goal of this work is to expand the reach of trauma treatment to the earliest years of life which constitute the foundation of future adult attitudes and behavior. Because this period of life from conception to age four lacks explicit memory and language, it is necessary to demonstrate that this experience is nonetheless recorded in the body and can be accessed for our therapeutic understanding. Moreover, accessing of this material directly accountable for trauma in the form of abuse and neglect not only elucidates the deficits in parenting responsible for childhood trauma but also provides an opportunity to rise above and offer healing with the provision of an alternate experience of secure attachment in the imaginal family.
Cost: $10 for Student/Associate members, $20 for SBCAMFT members, $25 for all State CAMFT members, and $30 for Non-SBCAMFT members (Join now!)
