Child Maltreatment: New Frontiers in Research and Practice at the Anna Freud Centre
7th December 2016
The conference provided clinicians and researchers with a unique overview of recent advances in research and practice in the field of childhood maltreatment.
The speakers, including Tracey Kayne, Supervisor of the MST CAN team in Leeds (pictured), are experts in psychological treatment, social care, neuroscience and policy. They reviewed the emerging evidence and considered:
- how the emerging evidence advances our understanding of the impact of maltreatment;
- the implications for prevention, care and treatment of children who have been affected.
Aims of the day
- To provide an accessible overview of recent psychological, neurobiological and epigenetic research in the field of childhood maltreatment
- To consider the implications of such a multilevel approach to research, in particular in relation to prevention and treatment as well as resilience and recovery
- To share the latest developments in treatment approaches with children who have experienced abuse and neglect, including Multisystemic Therapy (MST) and Minding the Baby.
- To explore new approaches that could enhance the network around the child, particularly how mentalising can be useful both at the individual and system level
