Autumn attachment webinars: The psychodynamics of dementia
This webinar is the last one of a series of three autumn webinars that deal with attachment, psychodynamics and neuroscience (APN). Tickets are available through Eventbrite.
About this event
This webinar will be particularly attractive to trainee psychologists, psychiatrists, assistant psychologists, counsellors and/or other mental health professionals. The webinar is also open for undergraduate students and/or members of the general public who wish to get a basic understanding of the topic.
A recording of the webinar will be made available for everybody who purchases a ticket (available for free for seven days). Thus, the webinar can be attended both live and/or on-demand.
Themes of the webinar:
- Introduce participants to issues occurring ‘under the surface’ when working with populations with diverse physical and mental health needs.
- Understand the impact of working with fragmented states of mind and body and how staff respond to such distress.
- Develop a framework for an effective understanding of the basic elements required in anxiety regulation, containment and growth for patients and staff.
It is expected that this webinar will enhance your reflective and formulation skills when working with dementia patients. The webinars will be divided as follows:
a) Introductions and housekeeping (15 minutes)
b) Lecture (75 minutes)
c) Informal group discussion, questions and reflections (30 minutes)
