Conference & Training > Baylin: Neurobiology and Brain-Based Therapy
3-4 Oct 2013: Interpersonal Neurobiology and Brain-Based Therapy
Conference, Tampere, Finland, 3-4 Oct, 2013
Good Connections: Interpersonal Neurobiology and Brain-Based Therapy for Parents and Children
Coaching Parents and Kids from Mistrust to Trust
Dr. Jonathan Baylin, USA
The Conference introduces to us the results of groundbreaking research on the brain mechanisms behind healthy caregiving. How do the neurobiological roots of emotions and a person’s own attachment history form the dynamics of a caregiving or therapeutic relationship? What are the key brain systems of good enough parenting? What happens when the carer is solid and stable, or when something in the relationship locks up? How to develop the ”parental brain”? Dr. Jonathan Baylin has been studying these issues for the past 15 years.
Target group Professionals working with traumatised children and young people in different contexts and who are in the position to care, assess or provide treatment/therapies for them, including foster carers/parents, psychologists, child psychiatrists, therapists and social workers in foster and residential care, family guidance clinics, child protection and welfare, psychiatric units, and special schools. Also teachers of educational institutions for social and health care, and teachers and researchers of universities are in an important position to disseminate new ways to help our most vulnerable clients.
