Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority and MI-AIMH – Early Childhood Learning Series

Attachment – Understanding the Relational History and How to Promote Security

Choosing where to place one’s attention and intervention focus in infant mental health work and parent-infant psychotherapy can be challenging.  Understanding the behavioral and narrative markers of attachment styles of children and adults can assist in deciding on the focus of attention.  This workshop will review the attachment templates of both children and adults, concluding with implications for treatment.  Particular focus will be given to disorganized/disoriented attachments and the possibility of interrupting the intergenerational transmission of unresolved trauma.
