Congress “Attachment and Trauma – Relationships; Consciousness and the Developing Self”
15 Nov 2019
About the event
When the developmental process is disrupted by inadequate caretaking; insufficient attunement or experiences of abuse within the care giving relationship; the child’s inner sense of continuity and consistence can be severely affected; thus leading to a fragmentation of the Self. Human consciousness is structured in the inter subjective dimension that characterises mirroring experiences with others. When such experiences are missing; this may lead to a dissociation of the Self and; in the presence of complex trauma; dissociative symptoms may involve extreme rigidity. A multitude of complex aspects related to the development of consciousness will be explored.
ISC International organises worldwide Congresses, workshops and trainings with the best Experts on the Psychotherapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology Field. ISC was founded in 2005 by Alessandro Carmelita and Valeria Idini, who aimed to offer highly qualified training services in the fields of psychotherapy and neuroscience. Their goal was meeting therapists’ need to constantly update their knowledge of the most advanced and efficient therapies from a scientific point of view.
The workshops, training and conferences that ISC organizes every year are attended by some of the most leading experts in the fields of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy and Mindfulness, just to name a few. Additionally, the company is increasingly focusing on relational-based and, more specifically, attachment-based therapeutic approaches.
