The Theme and Rationale
Emotionally enriching early environment is critical in the development and wellbeing of any person. Attachment relationships to parents and care givers is influential in creating resilient children. Very little is talked about attachment in the field of disabilities. People with Autism have significantly higher prevalence of mental health problems; often this is unrecognized. At the same time, the mental health problems are overmedicated. In this seminar, we explore the relationships between good mental health and attachment relationship. The presentation of mental health problems in people with autism and their treatment will be explored.

The topics covered include:

  • Trajectory of Child Emotional Development
  • Importance of Attachment
  • Autism and Attachment
  • Psychiatric Disorders in Autism
  • Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders in Autism
