Adult Attachment and the Adult Attachment Interview with Mary Main and Erik Hesse

In this 3-day program Drs. Mary Main and Erik Hesse explore the ways in which the Adult Attachment Interview is conducted and utilized in conjunction with clinical practice. Main & Hesse describe ways in which – using transcripts of this interview -- an individual’s state of mind respecting attachment can be useful to clinicians whether or not it is transcribed and formally assessed.   They also review the current state of the field, including recent studies involving gene-environment interactions and attachment.

Adult Attachment in Clinical Context: An Application of the Adult Attachment Interview (2-day conference)

The 2008 conference on Adult Attachment in Clinical Context presents leading theorists in the field. Their findings are essential to today’s practitioners.

This conference will be organized around the power of the Adult Attachment Interview, and its roots that spring from psychodynamic tradition, countless hours of attachment observation and research. Drawing from the rich research findings of three longitudinal studies, some of the conference’s presenters will illuminate clinical applications derived from these findings.

This conference brings together many of the leading figures in attachment research and theory. Topics range from mentalization-based treatment and the therapist’s stance; parental frightened-frightening behavior and it’s affect on the offspring; attachment theory’s influence on classification and etiology of psychopathology; links between disorganized, unresolved and cannot classify states of mind, and adult psychopathology. We will explore new ways to understand psychopathology and treatment through the lens of attachment research, and in particular, attachment and its influence on generational transmission.

Adult Attachment, Interpersonal Neurobiology and PsychotherapyOnline Testing Available
Adult Attachment, Interpersonal Neurobiology and Psychotherapy

Over the past decade, neuroscientists have increasingly come to recognize the plasticity of the human brain, a finding of substantial importance to clinicians.  But how are therapists to use this finding of neuroplasticity to optimize the outcome for their patients?  Interpersonal Neurobiology is the interdisciplinary view of the mind and mental health that seeks to integrate attachment research, and emerging findings from neuroscience, transforming the way we approach psychotherapy.

 One aspect of this perspective on therapy focuses upon creating a “mindful” approach to the individual’s own thinking, feeling and interactions. A principal proponent of this form of clinical work is Dr. Daniel Siegel. His recent book, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation, has attracted wide acclaim.

Drs. Main and Hesse engage listeners in a comprehensive immersion into the clinical implications of adult attachment. Dr. Siegel shares his analysis of the brain’s rewiring abilities and examine an Interpersonal Neurobiology approach to therapy with the administration of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) protocol.** Presentations include spontaneous and exploratory discussions among the speakers and the participants.

Attachment, Separation and LossOnline Testing Available
Attachment, Separation and Loss

Almost two decades after developing his theory, John Bowlby, is now considered the father of the attachment theory. Bowlby’s research has since been extensively studied by others and his ideas and beliefs have been confirmed. He examines the processes that take place in attachment and separation. Bowlby shows that human attachment is an instinctive response to the need for protection against predators, and one as important for survival as nutrition and reproduction. Although Bowlby was primarily focused on understanding the nature of the infant-caregiver relationship, he believed that attachment characterized human experience from “the cradle to the grave.” This program was recorded in London, England 1984.

Attachment: From Early Childhood Through the Lifespan

How does separation and loss affect the etiology of disorders of childhood, adolescence and adulthood?

 Richard Bowlby, Peter Fonagy, Mary Main, Allan Schore, Dan Siegel, L. Alan Sroufe and Daniel Stern provide a cutting-edge view from researchers and clinicians who are leaders in the integration of knowledge about how early childhood attachment experiences affect the mind, the brain, and developmental processes. These perspectives provide the “basic science” of the developing mind that enables the psychotherapist to understand clinical work and treatment strategies in a comprehensive and in-depth manner.

 See the potential “shift” in our thinking about the processes of human development and psychological healing within therapeutic relationships.

Being Present in Body and Mind

Attachment, emotion and the brain are naturally occurring and inextricably intertwined processes.  Disrupted, interrupted, and distorted when traumatic events tear apart the fabric of psyche and family, in treatment, attachment and emotion can become powerful forces for healing and repair when experientially entrained.

The preconference workshop features a series of conversations amongst the four presenters:

Pat Ogden, Robert Neborsky, Stephen Porges and Daniel Siegel

The faculty in this workshop present their cutting edge findings (with Powerpoint and videotapes where available); The neuroscientists are exposed to via the videotapes to phenomena that clinicians find to be fundamental, and indicative of plasticity.    In turn, the clinicians have the opportunity to reflect on the new findings and reflect on how what they are learning would impact their practice, and concretely how it might change it through clinical applications of the scientific work being presented.



This program includes the following tapes:
  • (360) Application of Polyvagal Theory to Clinical Treatment
  • (361) Discussion and Integration

Current Approaches to the Treatment of Trauma: The Shift from Cognition to Affect Regulation (2-day program)

This 2-DAY PROGRAM explores, means which might affect the regulation of psychological states.  We look at early developmental issues, as well as the influence of culture and language on reaction to trauma and on the treatment process.  
 
When trauma occurs, there is a tendency toward disintegration, leading to chaos and rigidity. Also, we look at the integrative mechanisms underlying the process of healing, and toward achieving a flow of energy and information that is at the heart of well-being.

Listeners will learn about the most recent experimental and clinical data generating a paradigm shift into models that emphasize affect regulation and integration as central mechanisms of therapeutic change. Advances in our understanding of the rapid appraisal of emotional information that occurs beneath awareness call attention to the essential role of emotion and the body in the change process. Cognitive interventions that fail to address motivation and emotion are increasingly proving to be limited in their efficacy, and in the problems to which they can be applied.

Fundamental Principles of Therapy: Issues for Therapists

This audio CD presentation offers you a unique opportunity to hear Virginia Satir’s innate ability to develop strategies for people to be able to grow and help themselves. Satir believed the therapist helps and encourages people not only to accept and deal with the pain and problems, but also to accept and live an inner joy and peace of mind. Much of her early work was based on techniques used in psychiatry. 

The Satir Model is still taught at Avanta Network, an international organization. This conference integrates Satir’s contributions in conjoint family therapy with psychodynamic and self psychology approaches to treatment

This is the second annual study seminar abroad investigating the Roots of Psychopathology. This course offers a unique opportunity to explore in depth some concepts and observations of renowned clinicians. Current formulations of love and aggression, drives, defenses, and the instinct theory of psychopathology will be examined.

While we all share essentially similar therapeutic goals, we may have very different views of the bedrock of issues of psychopathology which affect our treatment interventions. Some o fthe most vigorous reconsiderations of psychoanalytic theories have been occurring within psychoanalytic circles in France. This conference will enable participants to explore some of these important ideas that are at the cutting edge of American and French psychoanalysis.



This program includes the following tapes:
  • (713) Archaic Nature of the Oedipal Complex

Terrorism, Dehumanization, and the Dark Night of the Soul

The relationship between psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and culture has been an uneasy and disjointed one. The "culture" that Freud first brought to our attention was a primitive, uncivilized, hedonic one that we unwittingly superimposed on the culture we consciously inhabited.

 

Klein presented us with an unconscious "culture" that was even more savage and demonic than Freud's. Klein spoke of the death instinct and of primitive psychosis. She did not speak of trauma or terrorism or, for the matter, of dehumanization, which now characterizes our Zeitgeist.

 

The subject of this conference is the exploration of terrorism intra-psychically and internationally. Terrorism individually and collectively, has dominated and defined the temper of our times.

 

Lord Alderdice and Dr. Volkan give us rare opportunity of seeing how psychoanalytic ideas can be applied to international trouble zones. Dr. Mason discusses primitive states of violence in the internal world of the individual.

  



This program includes the following tapes:
  • (445) Limits and Transcendence in Politics and Terrorism

The Dream in Psychotherapy

Dreams represent one of the cornerstones of psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic theory and practice. Since Freud wrote “The Interpretation of Dreams” psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and other mental health practioners have relied upon dream analysis as a major tool of psychotherapy. Over the past eight psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and other mental health practioners have relied upon dream analysis as a major tool of psychotherapy.

 This conference gives participants the opportunity to learn what has happened in dynamic dream research. This program presents six eminent national authorities on dreams, each of whom delivers a major address on new developments in the field. Dr. Robert Lifton and Martin Bergmann address the changes in dream theory. Dr. John Gedo and Dr. Roy Whitman discuss dream technique – Dr. Gedo from the perspective of his book “Beyond Interpretation”, and Dr. Whitman on the basis of research into dreams which signal and accompany the ending of therapy. Dr. Jerome Oremland and Dr. Robert Stolorow address issues of dream practice, particularly in reference to working with borderline and narcissistic patients, two groups about whom current discoveries for therapy are being made.




This program includes the following tapes:
  • (755) Social Dimensions of Dreams
  • (756) The Interpretation of Dreams Revisited
  • (757) Termination Dreams
  • (758) Therapeutic Side Effects of Dream
  • (759) Dreams and the Borderline Personality

The Embodied Mind: Integration of the Body, Brain, and Mind in Clinical Practice (March 2006)

Traumatized people may continue to repeat the past by reacting to fragments of the memories and reminders of past trauma in new situations. This conference examines how an integrated clinical practice can effectively treat patients’ post traumatic experiences which have led to current disorders. 

Neuroscience research shows that most experience is automatically processed on a subcortical level by unconscious reactions that are made outside of conscious awareness. Traumatic memories are processed differently from normal memories, as they are often dissociated and may be inaccessible to verbal recall or processing. Reenactment plays out in the theaters of the body, and in the individual’s inability to form and sustain reciprocal interpersonal relationships.




This program includes the following tapes:
  • (415) Awakening the Mind to the Wisdom of the Body
  • (416) Love or Trauma? How Neural Mechanisms Mediate Bodily Responses to Proximity and Touch
  • (417) Already Set-Up for Trauma: Infants' Coping with Stress, Memory, and Autonomic Reactivity

The Healing Power of Emotion: Integrating Relationships, Body, and Mind

In the era of brain science and attachment theory, we increasingly understand how important integration is to healthy growth and optimal development. We see this conference not only as an opportunity to share the cutting edge with a large audience, but also as an opportunity to define, generate and integrate new knowledge from various fields.

As in our past conferences, we hope to transcend boundaries between scientists and clinicians, between researchers and practitioners. The conference will feature dialogue between presenters across disciplines, brain science, developmental research and clinical work (represented by videotapes of treatment sessions.) We will have clinicians commenting on developmental research and exploring its implications for clinical practice, and neuroscientists commenting on clinical phenomena from their perspective.

This program includes the following tapes:
  • (350) Meta-Communication
  • (351) Hold Me Tight: The New Science of Adult Love
  • (352) Intersubjectivity in Action: Co-Creating Meaningful Narratives
  • (353) Discussion and Dialogue with Presenter (Panel 1)
  • (354) The Emotional MindBrain: The Foundational Role of Core Affects in Consciousness and Psychotherapy

Toward A New Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships (3-day program)


 

This program focuses on integration of essential implicit communications within the therapeutic alliance. This includes recent interpersonal neurobiological models that describe the right brain/mind/body systems, the impact of this on communications, and newer bodily-based trauma models that focus on the enduring impact of stress on the central and autonomic nervous systems.

Relationships are the most important aspects of the therapeutic encounter. Relationships are also primary for physical, mental well-being.

Explore how relationships shape the brain, and how the brain shapes relationships? We will see how early attachment disturbances can lead to a wide variety of adult relational problems, especially when combined with unresolved trauma. The ability to form and sustain reciprocal interpersonal relationships is notably disrupted in individuals who experience early traumas in attachment patterns.

Toward A New Psychology Of Interpersonal Relationships

Therapeutic Presence: How the Integrating Social Brain Contributes to the Clinical Relationship

Based upon their extensive experience, clinicians presenting offer case material that incorporates current research findings, and discuss their application of  an intersubjective model of psychotherapy.  Leading experts discuss the ways in which personality development shapes and is shaped by ongoing interactions with early attachment figures.  This new research is transforming the clinical perspective and therapeutic approaches of clinicians at the cutting edge of these developments.  

Drawing on many diverse areas of scientific investigations, with integration of neuroscience, attachment research, and developmental studies, the conference developers explore the clinical implications of these exciting new integrated ideas.  The goal is to expand empirical ways for cultivating health in our lives.

Wholeness of Mind, Brain, Body and Human-Relatedness (recorded March 5-7, 2010)

We are increasingly aware of the significance of affective processes in essential human survival functions.  A number of scientific and clinical research studies have been converging on the centrality of affect, including unconscious and dissociated affect.  These are now becoming a central focus of psychotherapeutic work. 

This program is composed of pioneers and essential contributors to the ongoing paradigm shift. All are authors who have written extensively on the themes of the relationship between early development, affect regulation, relational trauma, psychopathogenesis, and psychodynamic models of the treatment of both mind and body, especially with the more severe personality disorders. The conference faculty includes infant researchers, neuroscientists, psychoanalysts, and trauma investigators, and yet all are experienced clinicians, each with decades of psychotherapy practice.

All of the presentations focus on the practical applications of ongoing neurobiological and developmental studies, groundbreaking clinical explorations, and interdisciplinary theoretical modeling of survival-related affective and self- regulatory phenomena. Presenters discuss various aspects of their current work, as well as dialogue between other presenters and the audience.

Woman's Growth in Connection

This conference explores different aspects of the Stone Center model. The theory poses an alternative to existing developmental models of separation and individualization as hallmarks of maturity and suggests instead the centrality of connection and relationships. Special attention to empathy, mutuality in relationships and the importance of working with conflict between people are also explored. Implications for psychotherapy will be considered through discussion of clinical material. Relational aspects of depression, eating disorders, anger, sexuality and other topics are examined.  

The panel discussion covers the evolution and roots of the Stone Center's approach, with a focus on the concept of mutuality and its application in psychotherapy. The question of "self" in a relational paradigm will be addressed as well as responses to questions frequently asked of this Stone Center panel: 

Is the approach directly only towards women's development in relationship?

Does the theory deal with conflict and with negative or destructive experience?

How does growth through connection compare with and differ from other theories such as object relations, self psychology adn the co-dependency recovery model?




This program includes the following tapes:
  • (850) History Process and Language of Relational Therapy
  • (851) Transference and Countertransference
  • (852) Voice, Image and Change
