Conference Keynotes

Wired For Healing: The Birth of Transformance

Drawing on neuroscience and developmental research,
as well as the resilience-affirming clinical practice of
Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy, Dr.
Fosha, author of The Transforming Power of Affect: A
Model for Accelerated Change, will focus on how we
can relate --in life, in parenting, in therapy, with each
other, and within ourselves-- in ways that awaken
transformational strivings, and in the process, enhance
health, healing and well-being.

The pre-conference institute will feature four models of attachment therapy. Dr. Daniel Hughes and his panel will present The Application of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy as Demonstrated by a Panel of Experienced Therapists. Dr. Gregory Keck and his panel will present Attachment-Focused Intervention: Cultivating Nuturing Enviornments to Facilitate Parent-Child Attachment. Other speakers include Dr. Terry Levy and Michael Orlans presenting Treating Trauma and Attachment Issues in Children and Families as well as Dr. Joanne May and Melissa Nichols presenting Family Attachment Narrative Therapy: Healing the Experience of Early Childhood Maltreatment.

In addition to the keynotes and pre-conference institute, over 30 workshops will be held. The workshops will be given by many renowned speakers, authors, and specialists in attachment therapy and related fields including parenting.

The workshops are designed to present a range of diagnostic and treatment approaches to attachment and trauma issues in families; provide information for new practitioners as well as challenging workshops for more experienced practitioners; and to encourage parent participation by providing workshops to meet their unique needs. Please refer to the speaker page for further information.
