Lecture I: Self-Regulation and Attachment--Understanding the Emotional
Life of Children
This lecture will be an exploration of two theories of
emotional regulation that are both consistent with Naturopathic
philosophy and also valuable in their further explication of the
emotional life of children. The emotions of anger, frustration,
sadness, and apathy, often felt and sometimes expressed by children,
are important to understand in the context of attachment and self-
regulation so that we as physicians can educate our patients and help
to bring their family life into greater health.
Attachment theory, born out of the observations and research
of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, investigated the patterns of secure
or insecure attachment and the various stages of detachment that play
a profound role in the development of children and adult life. The
discoveries of Wilhelm Reich further elucidate the dynamics of the
emotional regulation that occurs between parent and child and help
ground attachment theory in a bio-energetic and functional basis
consistent with the neo-vitalist tradition of Naturopathic medicine.
Come join us as these two theoretical stances and their implications
for medical practice are presented and discussed.
