New Online Course on Relational Development offered through the University of Montana Fall 2012:

"Few of us are ever actually taught how to parent, yet parenting may be the most important thing we do in our lifetime. We especially need to be prepared for the challenging but rewarding endeavor of raising emotionally distressed children. The course will cover many strategies to help children whose early experiences deprived them of the nurturing they needed to develop the essential capacity to connect with others.

Emphasis is on significant discoveries in the fields of neuroscience, childhood trauma, grief and loss, childhood development, and family systems that have fueled the evolution of the attachment treatment philosophy to a broader method of caring for emotionally distressed children, the Relational Development treatment approach.
