The goal of the New Zealand Society is to be the agency of choice in the provision of community rehabilitation and support services for people with mental illness, or emotional disorder.

The Institute consists of eight regional Centers in the United States with its National Office located in Jupiter, Florida. It also maintains informal relationships with similar organizations in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia, and it co-sponsored the First International Symposium held at Oxford University, England in 1988.

Conferences, based on the open systems concept of organizational life, are designed to enhance individuals' awareness of group and organizational processes and of their participation in them. Emphasis is placed on issues of authority, responsibility, leadership, and followership. In the past, conference membership has included people from business, govenment, law, health care, education, trade unions, social and community services, the military, religion, and the media. Such conferences have proven useful for people in positions of authority or preparing for such positions.

This clinical-research conference will be built around a clinical case in which the patient’s parents and children were part of an intensive treatment process at the Austen Riggs Center. In a series of presentations and discussion groups, the conference will examine how cutting-edge findings that are drawn from psychological, neurobiological and genetic studies on parenting clarify and deepen the understanding of both competent and problematic parenting.

This conference is designed to explore the role of these insights in understanding the case history and clinical work with a patient. Extensive discussion time will be available to integrate clinical case material with research discoveries.

Objectives:

• Describe how new findings drawn from psychological, neurobiological and genetic studies on parenting may clarify and deepen our understanding of both competent and problematic parenting
• Identify and explore the role of these insights in the clinical work with, and case history of, a specific patient, both in terms of her childhood relationships and development and her adult role as a parent
• Formulate, describe and appraise the application of current developmental research, especially with regard to attachment, to focused treatment interventions with troubled parents
