Judith Joseph, MD, MBA, child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at the Child Study Center at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, interviews Arthur Becker-Weidman, PhD, director of the Center for Family Development at the Attachment-Focused Treatment Institute in western New York, about his Grand Rounds lecture on Complex Trauma and its Effects on Child Development.
Children who've experienced trauma need to form trusting, supportive relationships with caregivers and therapists as a key component of their recovery and treatment. Yet often these traumatic events damage children's ability to do exactly that. Dr. Becker-Weidman discusses treatment strategies he's developed to help traumatized children become open to forming these relationships that are an integral part of the healing process.
Dr. Becker-Weidman presented at the Child Study Center's Grand Round series on Nov. 9, 2012. For more about the Child Study Center and its Grand Rounds series, visit www.nyulangone.....
