 \n\nMembers: $65\nNon-Members: $90\nISNR Students: $22\n\nAll psychotherap
 ies presently used\, ranging from behavior therapies such as Dialectical B
 ehavior Therapy to perennial favorites such as Psychoanalysis\, typically 
 fail those patients with histories of severe childhood neglect and abuse. 
 Of the two\, neglect is the more serious and even neglect may not be the t
 rue issue. In a recent longitudinal study from Harvard\, researcher Karlen
  Lyons-Ruth found\, surprisingly\, that abuse was not a predictor of 'bord
 erline personality' and suicidality. Unsurprisingly\, she and her team fou
 nd that the critical factor was the 'mother who turned away'. This is not 
 necessarily neglect but it is absence. \n\nFrank Corrigan and Sebern Fish
 er will focus on understanding and working with the profound impacts on th
 e infant of the mother who turns away.  Sebern will discuss how this infa
 nt grows up without an internalized mother and thus without the ability to
  regulate affect. What we call borderline personality is an inability to r
 egulate feeling states at the neurological level and a deep and enduring s
 ense of being unbearably alone\, motherless. Neurofeedback can help this a
 bandoned brain learn to quiet and regulate itself- it is the next best thi
 ng to having a "good-enough mother". For some\, however\, neurofeedback an
 d psychotherapy are not sufficient. Frank will describe the contribution o
 f Deep Brain Reorienting\, a therapy in which the patient learns to quiet 
 patterns of activation deep in the brainstem in the highly attentive compa
 ny of an 'Other' and he will share the robust research findings that suppo
 rt it.\n\nNo therapy works for everyone\, but this workshop will explore t
 he very real possibility that neurofeedback and DBR offered together will 
 significantly enhance the recovery of those who have suffered histories of
  even the most profound parental absence and trauma.
