Research has highlighted the effects of early neglect and abuse on the development of clinically significant problems in attachment, emotional self-regulation, and dissociative symptoms. The specific effects of neglect remain a somewhat hidden story. There is dramatically more research on posttraumatic symptoms and treatment interventions intended to lessen negative affect states by metabolizing memories of past adverse and traumatic experiences than research for overcoming the deactivating effects of the absence of mother-infant play, warmth, and affection or for directly helping survivors learn to tolerate and assimilate positive affect. More research is needed to identify optimal interventions to help survivors of early neglect learn to tolerate shared positive affect and to lessen deactivating and dissociative responses. Through a review of essential research on the effects of neglect and positive affect focused interventions, case vignettes, this workshop explores the less visited domain of interventions for promoting capacities for tolerating positive affect states and ways to help clients to learn to feel good about positive emotional interactions.

The learning objectives

  1. Participants will be able to state approximately how often mental health staff find out and chart whether their clients were abused or neglected as children and which of these two kinds of experiences tend to be recorded least often.
  2. Participants will be able to name and differentiate two distinct developmental pathways to dissociation.
  3. Participants will be able to describe the role of deactivating strategies, their effects on positive mood states, and whether clients deactivating strategies tend to be recognized or remain underrecognized in most clinical settings.
  4. Participants will be able to compare two techniques for working with positive memories or positive interactions intended to improve positive affect and self-worth.
  5. Participants will be able to decide whether it is important to assess their clients and offer interventions to help clients learn to tolerate and assimilate receiving positive emotional interactions from respected others.
