Do you wonder how to fit your work to the different people who come to you?Do you want to be inspired to find new ways to use the skills you already have?Treatment of psychological and interpersonal dysfunction is at a crossroads. The problems are increasing and the solutions seem few. In spite of new and expensive evidence-based programmes being 'rolled out' every year, the efficacy of treatment has not improved in over 25 years (Fonagy, et al, 2015; Seligman, 2013).
Is there any good news? There is! It is you! You are the 'active ingredient' in all forms of treatment.This short course will offer 10 ideas to improve your effectiveness. These ideas are straight-forward and easy to apply. They are meant for individual practitioners, no matter how they do their daily work. They will help you to fit what you do to each person who comes to you for help. These ideas can be applied in any service organization, within any theory of treatment, by all professional disciplines, and without any added cost (there's no programme to buy!).They will help you to help others and that will make you shine.
Come hear Dr. Patricia Crittenden's 10 ideas for improving the quality of your daily work. These ideas won't change your boss or national priorities; that takes far too long. Instead, they will change you so that you can improve individual lives (including your own!), one day, one hour at a time.Clinicians and researchers are hungry for theory that will truly advance their research and clinical practice.

Attachment and Psychopathology
presented by
Dr Patricia Crittenden Ph. D
This 3 day course will provide an introduction to the Dynamic Maturational Model (DMM) of attachment and adaptation including description of the array of patterns of attachment relationships and strategies for self-protection from infancy to adulthood.The model used is Dr Crittenden's Dynamic-Maturational Model of attachment and adaptation, (DMM), an expansion of the Bowlby-Ainsworth model to ages beyond infancy. The DMM is particularly relevant to individuals who are in at-risk situations, have been exposed to danger, display disturbed or maladaptive behavior, or are diagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder. The course is also relevant to longitudinal approaches to attachment, to the development of emotional and behavioural disorder, and to cross-generational issues. A particular emphasis in the course is cultural influences on the distribution of the patterns.
The course is structured developmentally and consists of lecture with slides, videotapes, and interview transcripts to demonstrate the patterns and principles of development. Handouts will be provided. In addition, an introduction is given to each of the DMM assessments of pattern of attachment.
Dates: 1, 2 and 3 November 2017 (3 days)
Time: Workshop will begin at 9.30am and end at 4.30pm. Registration and tea / coffee from 9am
