Welcome to Creating Connections

International Conference on Attachment, Neuroscience,
Mentalization Based Treatment and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

 

Nobody can survive without attaching to others. However, we still don’t understand the essence of this phenomenon.

Twenty years after John Bowlby’s “A Secure Base”, prominent researchers and clinicians from all over the world are gathering in The Netherlands to discuss with you how to make a connection between the scientific basis of attachment and the treatment of psychological and relationship problems. First they will meet for two days in an attempt to advance the available knowledge, then they will address the congress on these matters to share with you the latest scientific and practical outcomes.

In their lectures and workshops speakers will show interactions between various psychotherapeutic opinions and current trends. They will show the relation between Attachment and Mindfulness, between insight oriented and behavioural therapies. All this will be linked to the latest scientific research and knowledge.

These presenters come to the Efteling:

  • Sue Johnson
  • Peter Fonagy & Mary Target
  • John & Julie Gottman
  • Jim Coan
  • Dan Hughes
  • Mario Mikulincer & Phillip Shaver
  • Edward Tronick
  • Vittorio Gallese & Leonardo Fogassi

 

With 2 presenters we are still in contact to participate at this Conference.

At this conference these researchers and clinicians will discuss developments in research on attachment, neuroscience, MBT and EFT. They will present their findings in lectures and workshops and they will discuss the clinical relevance of their research on attachment, neurobiology, MBT and EFT.

The overall goal of Creating Connections Conference is to stimulate thinking, improve clinical practice and generate an impulse for new developments.
