Attachment informed approaches to working with depression

In this online professional development training, Dr Ruth McConnell presents a re-conceptualisation of Dollard and Millar’s (1945) Frustration-Aggression hypothesis for unipolar depression integrated with insights from Neufeld's attachment-based developmental model, as well as recent trauma research, to help those working with both adults and children who struggle with depressive symptoms.

Neufeld’s attachment-based developmental model will be presented offering three intervention points for working with clients who struggle with depression. These interventions include mapping the source of frustration, registering futility, the process of adaption and the integration of mixed emotions in the prefrontal cortex for therapeutic work with clients with unipolar depression.
