I attended a wonderful workshop yesterday at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, really the best one day learning fest I've had in years. Stan Tatkin described his amazing interventions using understandings from neuroscience in couples with disturbed relationships reenacting their own disturbed attachment histories.
If you want more information, go to www.ahealthymind.org. Though the Schore study group requires a password, you can click on Stan Tatkins and view his material.
The primary idea is that each person in a committed relationship has a primary and essential duty to help the other regulate themselves. That people can intervene in each other's emotional dysregulation by helping them calm, down-regulate, soothe. That it's mutual, and its biological. That the two are a team in the mutual down-regulation function of the relationship. Quite lovely really. Much much more in his material and trainings. He has a study group in Seattle for mental health professionals.
Also apparently the Alan Schore neuroscience study group also has openings for mental health professionals.
