Workshops #1 & 3: Working with Violent and Aggressive Children & Youth | PRESENTED BY Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D.

Aggression problems are deeply rooted in instinct and emotion and are therefore resistant to conventional discipline practices. Dr. Neufeld uncovers these roots and outlines steps to addressing them. His rich professional experience with aggressive children and violent youth informs this refreshing approach to an age-old problem. The principles apply to children of all ages and all settings: home, school and treatment. One of the foremost interpreters of the developmental approach tackles one of the oldest and most perplexing of human problems, exposing its deep developmental roots and revealing why conventional approaches to the problem are so ineffective. There are many indications that this problem is escalating among our children and youth. What tends to grab our attention is the more violating acts of aggression but what is truly alarming is the ground swell of attacking energy within and between our kids that erupts in their interaction, music, language, play, games and fantasies. This attacking energy is also fueling an alarming increase in suicide and suicidal ideation among children. Dr. Neufeld provides a way of understanding that not only explains what is happening around us but also provides insight into the individuals – both children and adults – who present with these problems. His approach is refreshingly sensible, historically accountable, and congruent with today’s science of the brain. His conceptual model has clear implications for practice and treatment and is applicable in any arena: home, school or in treatment.

By the conclusion of this six-hour workshop, participants will be equipped with a robust toolkit of evidence-based strategies rooted in developmental psychology to effectively address aggression and foster resilience in children and youth, thereby promoting healthier social interactions and emotional well-being.

  • Comprehensive Understanding: Develop a nuanced understanding of aggression, encompassing its diverse manifestations and its intricate relationship with suicide.
  • Psychological Dynamics: Explore the psychological underpinnings of aggression, including the pivotal roles of frustration and attachment in its development.
  • Adaptation and Integration: Delve into aggression as a multifaceted problem of adaptation, and learn strategies to address impulsiveness while promoting integration.
  • Effective Intervention Strategies: Evaluate the limitations of conventional disciplinary approaches in managing aggression, and acquire alternative methods for handling and mitigating incidents of violence.
  • Shifting Focus: Master techniques for shifting the focus from aggression to frustration, and cultivate healthier relationships with frustration within children and youth.
  • Practical Application Across Settings: Explore the practical application of Dr. Neufeld’s approach in diverse settings, including homes, schools, and treatment facilities, with a focus on implementing effective strategies informed by developmental psychology.
