Parenting and childcare in the context of the wisdom of trauma and developmental science
Two leading experts on childhood development, emotional attachment between parents (caregivers) and children, and healing trauma and injury will bring a fresh breeze of an alternative to the prevailing cognitive-behavioral approach relying on diagnosing disorders. Behind both of them, there are years of professional work, findings of the latest research in medical and developmental science, as well as deep understanding and insight thanks to their own experience. Gabor and Tamara will address (not only) the following topics and issues:
- What are the irreducible needs for healthy child development?
- Why can't children become who they are meant to be without them?
- What happens when these needs are not met?
- Why are the first three years so important? Or the first 6 - 7 years?
- Why is a relationship critical factor in parenting, not responsibility or methods?
- How to create an authentic relationship with your children?
- How to give birth naturally in today's system?
- What is the role of secure attachment, free play, rest and tender feelings?
- How to heal relationship with our children?
- How does our own trauma affect raising children and our relationship with them?
- And how are they influenced by society and culture?
- What does authenticity versus attachment mean?
- Why are parents more important than peers?
- What can we learn from indigenous cultures?
... and other challenges of parenting and childcare in a modern, peer-oriented society and in a toxic culture.
The conference is open to general public as well as professionals, parents, caregivers, healthcare and education workers, social workers, experts from state institutions and non-profit sector, and anyone who looks after children or works with parents, teachers, etc.

Compassionate Inquiry Therapeutic approach
Gabor Maté will offer a practical taste of Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach he developed during years of experience with mentally and physically ill. Compassionate Inquiry reveals what lies beneath appearances we present to the world. The client and therapist uncover different layers of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories, suppressed emotions and bodily states. Through Compassionate Inquiry, the client can recognize and bring to consciousness the core negative beliefs, unconscious dynamics and repressed emotions that control their lives and are at the root of problems. Compassionate Inquiry is a somatically based approach. Healing does not occur through intellectual understanding alone. The compassionate therapist holds a safe space for experiencing and feeling emotions and pain so that the client can be with them and integrate them with the insight of an adult.

Tamara Strijack Neufeld - Workshop
Palác Lucerna - Cinema Hall
Play therapy for parents and professionals
The workshop is an opportunity to dive deeper into facilitating play in the areas of attachment, expression and emotional playgrounds. It is open to anyone who works with children, adolescents and adults and would like to apply play to their practice (e.g. as a counselor, therapist, educator, health professional, parent, grandparent, etc.).
Developmental science has long promoted the healing power of play, whether it is with a child, adolescent or an adult. However, play is often overlooked and undervalued in the field of therapy, often focusing more on cognition and behavior. Play can be marginalised or isolated into a particular model or approach, overshadowing its inherent power.
In this workshop we will explore the purposeful dynamics of emotion and the inherent qualities of play - and most importantly, the magical interplay when they come together. We'll play with practical application throughout a person's life. What will it look like when we bring true play and playfulness into our practice, both in and out of the therapy room? What will it look like when we combine play and emotion for those we care about and for ourselves? With this insight into true play, we can see that play is nature's plan to take care of us, no matter what our role.
I look forward to playing with you!
What is Neufeld's developmental approach?
Dr. Gordon Neufeld's attachment-based developmental theory is an integrated developmental approach rooted in depth psychology, grounded in the developmental paradigm, infused with attachment theory, aligned with current neuroscience research, and honed by forty years of professional practice, parenting, and personal reflection. It is a metatheory of development that Dr. Neufeld constructed by connecting the dots until a consistent picture emerged. His comprehensive model evolved over years of synthesis and distillation.
Dr. Neufeld's approach has clear and practical implications for practice and treatment, regardless of the focus - children, adolescents, adults, marriage or family. His model, built on insight and deep understanding, provides both a significant and refreshing alternative to the current cognitive-behavioral direction as well as the medical "disorder" approach. In a world of fragmented knowledge, esoteric terminology, strategies detached from their philosophical anchoring, and a wide range of diverse treatment approaches, Dr. Neufeld's approach is a guarantee of quality and functionality.
