| The Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment | ||
| This 5-day course introduces the Dynamic-Maturational Model (DMM) of attachment and ties it to risk assessment and treatment. The DMM differs from the usual ABC plus "disorganization" model of attachment by (1) focusing on differences within the risk group, (2) highlighting a strengths approach to working with parents and children at risk, and (3) presuming that maturation and development increase individuals' potential for adaptation. | ||
