This three-day course focuses on the development, prevention and treatment of psychological disorder. It weaves together theory, human development, assessment, case examples and treatment applications to reframe maladaptive behaviour as adaptive strategies for self-protection. The course focuses on development from infancy to adulthood, emphasising the process of adaptation and developmental pathways that carry risk for psychopathology.

The model used is the Dynamic-Maturational Model (DMM) of attachment and adaptation, developed by Dr. Patricia M. Crittenden. The DMM is relevant to individuals who are at risk, who have been exposed to danger, who display disturbed or maladaptive behaviour, or who are diagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder. A particular emphasis is cultural influences on attachment.

Clark is also delivering Introduction to Attachment-Based Practice with Adults, Children and Families, a 1 day introductory workshop in Adelaide.

Learning Outcomes

  • Perceiving discrepant behaviour, seeing commonly overlooked clues.
  • Identifying false-positive affect and uncovering hidden problems in their early stages.
  • Differentiating symptoms and self-protective strategies, specifying how symptoms function.
