Description

Dante’s Section Description: 

Review the research on the effects of trauma on child development and how trauma can disrupt the development of key brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex, and lead to a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Discuss the developmental processes that underlie psychopathology is essential for developing effective interventions.Discuss the concept of resilience, or the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. He has found that resilient children are better able to cope with the effects of trauma and are less likely to develop mental health issues. 
 

Fosha’s Section Description: 

Aloneness in the face of overwhelming emotion is the epicenter of traumatic suffering: it is what brings our patients to seek our help. Undoing aloneness is key to being able to process the overwhelming emotions of trauma and rewire neural pathways. How to do so is a challenge for those whose trauma leads them to not trust the very connections they most need to heal.  AEDP has developed rich, creative, systematic interventions for doing precisely that: i.e., explicitly undoing the patient’s aloneness and working dyadically to process and heal attachment trauma. AEDP methodology has patient and therapist emotionally engaged, moment-to-moment tracking fluctuations in connection to self and dyad, closely following the edge of emergent relational and transformational experience. By (i) working with defenses against connection, (ii) engaging in relational processing, i.e., working directly with in-session felt experiences of attachment and intersubjectivity in the therapeutic dyad, and then (iii) using AEDP’s relational metaprocessing techniques to systematically process receptive affective experiences of feeling felt, loved, cared for, and seen that emerge from the work, we can foster new experiences of the emotion-in-connection that re-wire internal working models, expand trauma patients' relational capacity and support the emergence of a vital vibrant and relationally engaged self. This talk will include videotaped vignettes from actual psychotherapy sessions to illustrate these interventions in clinical action.  Empirical findings from research on the transdiagnostic effectiveness of AEDP based on over 75 therapeutic dyads within AEDP’s worldwide PRN (Practitioner-Researcher Network) will be woven into this presentation.   

Fleischman’s Section Description: 

Neurofeedback is a powerful technology to heal developmental trauma when placed in the hands of skilled clinicians. Unfortunately, to date its use has been largely restricted to those with the ability to to pay. To this end we recruit public and private nonprofit agencies and provide training, clinical support and equipment to their staff. To date 30 agencies have implemented neurofeedback and the results, which we publish to our website, are stunning.  Our mission is to make neurofeedback accessible to everyone, with a focus on those who work with the underserved and most vulnerable.
