Course Description

Ths course is designed to help clinicians integrate the large body of attachment theory and neuroscience research that has evolved over the past several decades into their clinical practice. Bowlby and Ainsworth's initial conceptualization of attachment theory will be examined, along with how it has been expanded upon by developmental and social psychologists. There will be a review of how attachment theory is currently being applied to clinical practice. This class will include a discussion of the neurobiological aspects of attachment behaviors, such as social cognition, emotion regulation, and memory; how these neural capacities behavioral present themselves in the therapeutic setting; and how the clinician can use this knowledge to pinpoint specific interventions that promote therapeutic change.
