A Workshop with Ariel Nathanson: Clinical Work with Children and Young People who are Violent and Self Harm

The workshop will focus on the relational aspects of violence and self-harm. It will start with a discussion about the differences and links between aggression and violence from a developmental perspective and then turn to explore different types of violence (i.e. sadistic & callous Vs self-preservation).  Links will be made to self-harm. It will then turn to explore the challenges of working with violent and self-harming young people, focusing on key clinical concepts relating to this work.

The workshop will provide opportunities for participants to reflect about their own roles in relation to the issues discuss and contribute to the overall discussion. The workshop is aimed to help many professionals tasked with attending to and caring for violent and self-harming young people.
