RE: ADVANCED SEMINAR IN CHILD AND ADOLESCENT ANALYSIS Presenter: Miriam Steele, Ph.D.
“Attachment, Trauma and Adoption: Clinical techniques to enhance reflective functioning”
This seminar will present a dialogue between developmental research and clinical intervention which in recent years has been elucidated in adult treatment but has received less attention in child clinical work. The focus of this talk will be to present a psychodynamically-oriented treatment case of an 9 year old girl who suffered trauma as young child, with multiple moves in foster care until she was adopted at age 7. Paying close attention to specific aspects of a psychotherapeutic intervention can point to the way that developmental research can complement clinical understanding and alert us to some possible sources for promoting therapeutic action.
