2008 NPI Spring Workshop
Repairing Relationship:
Neurobiological & Sociocultural Perspectives on TraumaAmy Banks, M.D. &
Maureen Walker, Ph.D.Jean Baker Miller Training Institute
Stone Center
Wellesley College
To place culture, alongside connections, at the center of the theory is to break a critical silence.
--Maureen Walker, PhD
Nashville Psychotherapy Institute, The Margaret Cuninggim Women's Center at Vanderbilt University, The National Association of Social Workers, the Human Development Counseling Center at Vanderbilt University and the Vanderbilt Department of Psychiatry are proud to offer this unique opportunity for an intensive study in Relational-Cultural Theory and the neurobiology of trauma and traumatic disconnection.
Developed at the Stone Center, Relational-Cultural Theory rests on the premise that growth-fostering connections are the central human necessity and disconnections are the source of psychological problems. In particular, relationships are profoundly influenced by cultural contexts. Above all, RCT asserts that people need to be in connection in order to change, to open up, to shift, to transform, to heal and to grow.
Learning Objectives:
1. To identify core healing practices of Relational-Cultural Theory.
2. To examine the role of neurodysregulation in shaping relational behaviors in trauma.
3. To evaluate a trauma case through both a neurobiological and sociocultural lens.
