Childhood experience and its impact on the couple relationship

Through presentations, examples and discussion, two experienced child psychotherapists will enable participants to gain a greater understanding of the infant’s early emotional experience of the ways in which the mother-infant relationship is formed- both in health and in pathology, and of how these early experiences influence and impact on adult couple relationships in later life.

Brief outline of content:

• Presentation on early emotional experience and mother-infant interaction, illustrated by vignettes from infant observation and clinical work with children and adolescents.
• Presentation on couple work. Vignettes of clinical material will be used to outline different scenarios, highlighting the link between early experience and adult couple relationships.
• Participants will be asked to bring case material, which will be discussed in small groups and then fed back to the group as a whole.
• The workshop will end with a Q&A session and an opportunity to review the day as a whole.
