Attachment theory can inform clinical work with people suffering from traumatic stress, especially for those whose trauma is rooted in the actions of other people. Attachment dynamics play an important role in social perception and the capacity to manage intense emotions. This in turn impacts one’s ability to cope with acute and chronic stress. This presentation will review the basic concepts of attachment theory, it’s two most common classification schemes; and leading contemporary ideas on how attachment contributes to our capacities to interpret the social environment and regulate feelings. We will discuss how traumatic stress can disrupt normative attachment dynamics and present in the context of mood, anxiety, and personality disturbance. Finally, we will discuss ways to engage and sustain a treatment alliance with traumatized clients using approaches derived from attachment theory.

Practicum placements provide mutually beneficial opportunities for social work students, social services agencies, and the clients served. Practicum placement opportunities present agencies with access to a pool of innovative, creative, and passionate future social workers. Placements should be accessible to all, including students with disabilities. This webinar will focus on how to build an inclusive practicum placement environment for students with disabilities, with the shared goal of improving outcomes for vulnerable populations and achieving social service agency mission and vision.
