A two-day workshop with Giovanni Liotti
Utrecht, The Netherlands, September 11 and 12, 2009
Dr. Liotti is a leading expert on the links between dissociation in trauma and attachment disorders, particularly disorganized attachment. In this workshop, he will present his original ideas on these topics and their treatment.
Abstract
Early attachment disorganization is a risk factor for severe trauma-related disorders. An overall theory of the action systems that organize and govern human behaviour and experience will be discussed to understand the nature of both early disorganized attachment and controlling/disorganized interpersonal strategies. The dynamics that lead from attachment disorganization to the controlling strategies, and those that link trauma to dissociation through the collapse of the controlling strategies will be dealt with extensively. The workshop also focuses on some consequences for psychotherapy of the theory of dissociation based on attachment disorganization.
