Dan will be presenting principles of attachment theory and research
that he actively utilizes to facilitate therapeutic change within family treatment. These principles, leading to various therapeutic interventions, provide a model of child and family development that builds upon the original infant-parent attachment process. This process, in turn, serves as a basis for emotional, social, and cognitive development as well as more open, varied, and productive communication patterns among members of the family. The workshop will involve formal presentation, discussion, videotape, role-play, and handouts.

Birth trauma affects all aspects of an infant's life: physical, emotional, social, spiritual.

The workshop will be of interest to parents (biological, foster, or adoptive), healthcare workers, doulas, early childhood professionals, therapists, and anyone involved with parents, infants, or children.
