Weight Matters:
Modern Attachment Theory and Neuro-Science Meets Disregulated Eating
12 week Teleseminar SKYPE Series
DATE & Time: TBA
The field of psychotherapy is going through a rapid shift in its thinking of the development of psychopathology. The work of Daniel J. Siegel, Allan N. Schore, and Pat Ogden brings a paradigm shift in the thinking behind application treatment method. The emphasis is on the implicit realm in human development and its impact on the development of psychopathology.
Fall/Winter 2011-2012, I am offering a Professional Teleseminar Series to clinically integrate the recent advances in neuroscience research and modern attachment theory with innovative clinical therapeutic application in the treatment of the overweight , disordered eating patient. ( ODE )
Overweight, Disordered Eating patients (ODE) present unique and multifaceted clinical challenges. While these individuals can be very accomplished and psychologically minded, they have been unable able to effect weight loss. In addition to the frustration of suffering with unsuccessful attempts at weight loss, they carry the shame of an obese body and body image. This seminar will address these frustrations with a fresh eye to newer thinking in modern regulation theory and interpersonal neurobiology about their psychopathology, as well as direct clinical application to treatment.
An Applied Mentoring Group for Professionals will:
- Inform treatment of the ODE patient through the lens of Modern Attachment Theory and Interpersonal neurobiology
- Introduce you to an innovative psychotherapeutic approach
- Review pertinent elements of Modern Attachment Theory
- Review basic elements of interpersonal neurobiology
- Facilitate understanding of your patient's resistance to change
- Delve into the concepts of self neglect and hope.
- Present the crucial issues of affect regulation needed by the ODE patient.
- Clinical application and discussion
