[Guest guest]

Therapeutic Arts Alliance of Manhattan

Formerly The Institute for Drama Therapy

presents

Songs of Innocence: Attachment, Loss, and the Creation of the Reparative Family with Traumatized Children

January 16, 2010

Facilitated by

Nash, LCAT and Lucy McLellan, LCAT, RDT

This

workshop will invite participants into the challenging journey of

working with children traumatized by the disabling effects of insecure

attachment. Through experiential and didactic exploration, we will

examine a therapeutic way of being that optimizes the formation of

reparative relationships.

This workshop will address:

· the genesis and experience of insecure attachment

· the intergenerational transmission of trauma

· the emotional preparation of the leader necessary to reach the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of the child

· the use of metaphor as a path towards accessing the inner life of the child

· the therapeutic use of song and the role of spontaneous creativity with traumatized children

· a

way of being with deeply troubled children and the empathic connection

between therapist and child necessary for healing to begin

This workshop is for mental health professionals, educators, students and all those somewhere on this therapeutic journey.
