Overview

This workshop will provide a broad conceptual framework for evaluating children which is consistent with the principles of self psychology. The framework will include neurobiological, family, developmental, and social issues which impact the child's developing self structure. Attention will be paid to engaging the parents and child in the assessment and treatment process, and maintaining alliances with each. An in-depth case presentation will demonstrate the treatment process and the multiple issues that arise.
