The Neurobiology of Attachment
Trauma and Healing

Infant Research and
Attachment
 Bowlby (1960) in
describing the primacy
of early childhood
attachments suggested
that the biological
motive for attachment
was equal to that of the
instinctual drives.

 Winnicott (1952) is
well-known for his
idea that “there is no
such thing as a
baby” in describing
the primacy of the
early mother-infant
relationship and its
role in the child’s
developing object-
relations.

 Indeed, animal research as well as infant studies have
confirmed that neuroanatomy, neurochemical events, and
observable behaviors are all subsequently modified by
early interactions with caregivers and that these internal
processes are concurrently organized and affect each
other (Schore, 1999; Beebe & Lachmann, 2002).
The critical role of attachment
12
 In the absence of appropriate dyadic attachment
experiences during infancy, a child as they grow into
adulthood may exhibit difficulties in their ability to self-
soothe, self-organize, regulate affect, and engage in
healthy relationships (Bowlby, 1969; Winnicott, 1959;
Kradin, 2004).
Some problems associated with attachment
13
 It is generally agreed that attachment security protects
against psychopathology (Fonagy, 2001). Attachment
experiences include the complex physiological, biological,
genetic, and behavioral facets of the early caregiving
environment and concomitant interactive processes.
Therefore it is no surprise that there exists clear evidence
that neglect and attachment difficulties in early
development may be even more damaging than abuse
(Schore, 2003).

Focus on the Brain
Its hemispheres and the effect of trauma on the brain, its
structures, and their basic functions.
16
 The left hemisphere is largely
involved in language, logical
reasoning, the conscious,
sequential, mathematical,
storytelling, and verbal
processes (Simpson, 2005a).
 We know that this
hemisphere is generally more
pronounced in females than
in males (Simpson, 2005c).
The left hemisphere
CC0 Public Domain
https://pixabay.com/en/face-silhouette-brain-communication-535761/
17
 Generally believed to involve the
processes of the unconscious, emotion,
spatial awareness, abstraction and is
concerned with holistic process and the
Gestalt (Simpson, 2005a).
 Matures faster and is larger than the left
hemisphere and is actually responsible
for inducing the growth and development
of the left hemisphere (Simpson, 2005a).
 Generally considered dominant and is
larger in males than females (Simpson,
2005c). We also know that similar
damage to a particular hemisphere in
male and female brains affects
functioning in different ways between the
genders (Ornstein, 1997).
The right hemisphere
CC0 Public Domain
https://pixabay.com/en/face-silhouette-brain-communication-535761/
18
 The hemispheres are joined together by
a dense formation of connections called
the corpus collosum (which means “big
bundle”).
 The corpus collosum is the brain’s
“superhighway” and one of the main
avenues for the hemispheres of the
brain to communicate (Simpson,
2005a).
 It was discovered that certain processes
that are affected by trauma in one area
of a hemisphere of the brain can be (on
some level) taken over by a related
structure in the opposite hemisphere
(Gazzaniga, 1999).

 The amygdala is also a key
structure in memory in that it
creates the “emotional
content” of memory and the
feeling responses related to
memory (Teicher, 2002).
The amygdala

 This structure compares new
experience with old memories
and response; familiarity often
evokes a predictable response
comparable to novel
experiences (Simpson, 2005d).
 The hippocampus is an area of
the brain that is affected by
Alzheimer’s disease (Simpson,
2005a).

21
 Liggan and Kay (1999) suggest that part of treatment for
children with attachment difficulties, for instance, is
focusing on the patterns and rules of implicit memory in an
effort to help the child to reveal and reflect on them more
fully.
 They felt that what may be mutative in psychotherapy was
that new patterns of relationships would be explicated,
repeated, and learned so that these newly learned habits
may be “engrained in the implicit memory system” (p. 105).
Role of therapy with children
22
Play therapy and its benefits
Military children and application
23
 Play therapy can be
defined in a general way
as “an interpersonal
process wherein a trained
therapist systematically
applies the curative
powers of play to help
clients resolve their
psychological difficulties.”
(Schaefer, 1993, p. 3)
Play therapy

24
 As Landreth so pointedly
reminds us about children,
“toys are their words” and play
is their language (1993, p. 41).
 For the child, play is the
medium by which they can
express their feelings and gain
mastery over ideas, thoughts,
and conflicts that may be
reflected to the child as
unacceptable in the adult
world.

25
 Play therapy comes in
many forms and lies
along a continuum of
activities from those
techniques that are
more directive and
focused in scope to
those that are quite
ambiguous and non-
directive.

psychotherapy’s most
prominent figures.

 Freud recognized the
importance of play and wrote:
“The opposite of play is not what
is serious but what is real. In
spite of all the emotion with
which he cathects his world of
play, the child distinguishes it
quite well from reality.”
(Freud, 1908, p. 143).
Sigmund Freud
29

 Freud and many psychoanalysts recognized the value
of play (1920) as did Erikson (Tyson, 1990) and
Piaget.
 Anna Freud and Burlingham used play in their work
with orphans and small children in the Hampstead
War Nurseries (A. Freud, 1942).
 Mahler recognized play in the “practicing phase” of
development as a means of solving problems and
understanding the world around them (Mahler, et al.,
1975).
Play therapy history
30
 Winnicott believes that play
in of itself is “a therapy” and
that a child’s play has
“everything in it” (1971, p.
259)
 Winnicott (1953) and
Melanie Klein recognized its
usefulness in their work with
child and young adolescent
clients.
Donald Woods Winnicott

31
 Winnicott (1971) describes the relationship of play
to psychotherapy:
 [I]t is play that is the universal, and that belongs to
health:
 playing facilitates growth and therefore health;
 playing leads into group relationships;
 playing can be a form of communication in
psychotherapy;
 and, lastly psychoanalysis has been developed as a
highly specialized form of playing in service of
communication with oneself and others . . . (p. 257).
D.W. Winnicott, continued
32
 It also plays a crucial role in
the integration of object-related
wishes and fantasies as a
means of problem-solving and
reality testing.
 Winnicott described how
babies and children
manipulate play objects in their
environment to gain mastery
over their growing object
relationships.

33
 Winnicott continues,
“If the patient cannot play,
then something needs to
be done to enable the
patient to become able to
play, after which
psychotherapy may begin”
(1971, p. 54).

 Carl Rogers (1951) first
coined the term “client-
centered therapy” and was
highly influential in the
development of the
theoretical base and
techniques of play therapy.

36
 One of Roger’s close
colleagues, Virginia Axline
(1947) collaborated with him
on a number of occasions
and is largely recognized as
one of the founders of
child-centered play therapy—
a very special derivative of
the client-centered approach
used previously by Rogers
with adult clients.

Play therapy
 Axline (1950) summarized her concept of play
therapy, “A play experience is therapeutic
because it provides a secure relationship
between the child and the adult, so that the child
has the freedom and room to state himself in his
own terms, exactly as he is at that moment in
his own way and in his own time” (p. 68).
39
CC0 Public Domain
https://pixabay.com/en/boys-sitting-playing-toddlers-286784/
There are eight basic principles that guide the child-centered
play therapy as described by Axline (1947). They are:
1) The therapist must develop a warm, friendly relationship with
the child, in which good rapport is established as soon as
possible.
2) The therapist accepts the child exactly as he is.
3) The therapist establishes a feeling of permissiveness in the
relationship so that the child feels free to express his
feelings completely.
4) The therapist is alert to recognize the feelings the child is
expressing and reflects those feelings back to him in such a
manner that he gains insight into his behavior.
The “ax”ioms of child-centered play therapy
40
5) The therapist maintains a deep respect for the child’s ability to
solve his own problems if given an opportunity to do so. The
responsibility to make choices and to institute change is the
child’s.
6) The therapist does not attempt to direct the child’s actions or
conversation in any manner. The child leads the way; the
therapist follows.
7) The therapist does not attempt to hurry the therapy along. It is
a gradual process and is recognized as such by the therapist.
8) The therapist establishes only those limitations that are
necessary to anchor the therapy to the world of reality and to
make the child aware of his responsibility in the relationship.
(pp. 73-74)
The “ax”ioms of child-centered play therapy, cont’d
41
Child-centered play therapy involves free play with three
types of equipment (Landreth, 1993).
1.Real-life toys include family dolls, doll houses, puppets, cars, trucks, a
cash register, money, and other nondescript figures.
2.Play equipment may also include items that facilitate aggressive
release such as bop bags, toy soldiers, animal figurines, guns, knives,
and swords.
3.Equipment would also include items
that facilitate creative and emotional
expression including such things as
crayons, paper, clay, sand and water,
building blocks, an easel for drawing,
and paint. (pp. 56-57).

 Hartley and his colleagues point to nine therapeutic benefits
of play therapy (1952). Play gives children a chance to:
1) imitate various adults
2) play out real life roles in an intense way
3) reflect numerous relationships and experiences
4) express immediate and pressing needs
5) release unacceptable impulses and feelings
6) reverse roles usually taken in real life
7) mirror growth
8) work out problems and conflict
9) experiment with various solutions in a safe setting
Therapeutic benefits of play therapy

 Play therapy is well-documented
in its effectiveness for children
and early adolescents working
through a variety of loss and
grieving experiences including:
 Death
 Divorce

  • 9. The Neurobiology of Attachment Trauma and Healing 9
  • 10. Infant Research and Attachment  Bowlby (1960) in describing the primacy of early childhood attachments suggested that the biological motive for attachment was equal to that of the instinctual drives. Childhood development: Theoretical constructs 10 Image by James Corbin used by permission
  • 11.  Winnicott (1952) is well-known for his idea that “there is no such thing as a baby” in describing the primacy of the early mother-infant relationship and its role in the child’s developing object- relations. Mother-infant attachment 11 Image by James Corbin used by permission
  • 12.  Indeed, animal research as well as infant studies have confirmed that neuroanatomy, neurochemical events, and observable behaviors are all subsequently modified by early interactions with caregivers and that these internal processes are concurrently organized and affect each other (Schore, 1999; Beebe & Lachmann, 2002). The critical role of attachment 12
  • 13.  In the absence of appropriate dyadic attachment experiences during infancy, a child as they grow into adulthood may exhibit difficulties in their ability to self- soothe, self-organize, regulate affect, and engage in healthy relationships (Bowlby, 1969; Winnicott, 1959; Kradin, 2004). Some problems associated with attachment 13
  • 14.  It is generally agreed that attachment security protects against psychopathology (Fonagy, 2001). Attachment experiences include the complex physiological, biological, genetic, and behavioral facets of the early caregiving environment and concomitant interactive processes. Therefore it is no surprise that there exists clear evidence that neglect and attachment difficulties in early development may be even more damaging than abuse (Schore, 2003). Problems with attachment, continued . . . 14

  • 16. Focus on the Brain Its hemispheres and the effect of trauma on the brain, its structures, and their basic functions. 16
  • 17.  The left hemisphere is largely involved in language, logical reasoning, the conscious, sequential, mathematical, storytelling, and verbal processes (Simpson, 2005a).  We know that this hemisphere is generally more pronounced in females than in males (Simpson, 2005c). The left hemisphere CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/face-silhouette-brain-communication-535761/ 17
  • 18.  Generally believed to involve the processes of the unconscious, emotion, spatial awareness, abstraction and is concerned with holistic process and the Gestalt (Simpson, 2005a).  Matures faster and is larger than the left hemisphere and is actually responsible for inducing the growth and development of the left hemisphere (Simpson, 2005a).  Generally considered dominant and is larger in males than females (Simpson, 2005c). We also know that similar damage to a particular hemisphere in male and female brains affects functioning in different ways between the genders (Ornstein, 1997). The right hemisphere CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/face-silhouette-brain-communication-535761/ 18
  • 19.  The hemispheres are joined together by a dense formation of connections called the corpus collosum (which means “big bundle”).  The corpus collosum is the brain’s “superhighway” and one of the main avenues for the hemispheres of the brain to communicate (Simpson, 2005a).  It was discovered that certain processes that are affected by trauma in one area of a hemisphere of the brain can be (on some level) taken over by a related structure in the opposite hemisphere (Gazzaniga, 1999). The corpus collosum – the brain’s superhighway CC0 Public Domain https://www.flickr.com/photos/brewbooks/7780990192 19
  • 20.  The amygdala is also a key structure in memory in that it creates the “emotional content” of memory and the feeling responses related to memory (Teicher, 2002). The amygdala 20 CCO Public Domain https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amygdala.jpg
  • 21.  This structure compares new experience with old memories and response; familiarity often evokes a predictable response comparable to novel experiences (Simpson, 2005d).  The hippocampus is an area of the brain that is affected by Alzheimer’s disease (Simpson, 2005a). The hippocampus CC0 via Public Domain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus#/media/File:Gray739-emphasizing- hippocampus.png 21
  • 22.  Liggan and Kay (1999) suggest that part of treatment for children with attachment difficulties, for instance, is focusing on the patterns and rules of implicit memory in an effort to help the child to reveal and reflect on them more fully.  They felt that what may be mutative in psychotherapy was that new patterns of relationships would be explicated, repeated, and learned so that these newly learned habits may be “engrained in the implicit memory system” (p. 105). Role of therapy with children 22
  • 23. Play therapy and its benefits Military children and application 23
  • 24.  Play therapy can be defined in a general way as “an interpersonal process wherein a trained therapist systematically applies the curative powers of play to help clients resolve their psychological difficulties.” (Schaefer, 1993, p. 3) Play therapy CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/three-girls-female-kids-children-1325106/ 24
  • 25.  As Landreth so pointedly reminds us about children, “toys are their words” and play is their language (1993, p. 41).  For the child, play is the medium by which they can express their feelings and gain mastery over ideas, thoughts, and conflicts that may be reflected to the child as unacceptable in the adult world. Play therapy CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/lego-toys-boy-build-creative-286232/ 25
  • 26.  Play therapy comes in many forms and lies along a continuum of activities from those techniques that are more directive and focused in scope to those that are quite ambiguous and non- directive. Forms of play in therapy CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/sand-pit-toys-toy-bucket-sand-780855/ 26
  • 27.  Play that facilitates talking  “Fishing therapy” case  “Puppet introduction” case  “The Ungame”  Cards for teenagers  Other therapeutic games Direct forms CCO Public Domain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(playing_card)#/media/File:Queen_playing_cards.jpg 27
  • 28.  The use of play as a therapeutic technique is well- established and has been used by some of psychotherapy’s most prominent figures. Play therapy – theoretical history CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/boy-child-family-female-guardian-1300397/ 28
  • 29.  Freud recognized the importance of play and wrote: “The opposite of play is not what is serious but what is real. In spite of all the emotion with which he cathects his world of play, the child distinguishes it quite well from reality.” (Freud, 1908, p. 143). Sigmund Freud 29 Papa Freud, conflicted, with cigar by Carla 216 CC via Flickr
  • 30.  Freud and many psychoanalysts recognized the value of play (1920) as did Erikson (Tyson, 1990) and Piaget.  Anna Freud and Burlingham used play in their work with orphans and small children in the Hampstead War Nurseries (A. Freud, 1942).  Mahler recognized play in the “practicing phase” of development as a means of solving problems and understanding the world around them (Mahler, et al., 1975). Play therapy history 30
  • 31.  Winnicott believes that play in of itself is “a therapy” and that a child’s play has “everything in it” (1971, p. 259)  Winnicott (1953) and Melanie Klein recognized its usefulness in their work with child and young adolescent clients.

  • 32.  Winnicott (1971) describes the relationship of play to psychotherapy:  [I]t is play that is the universal, and that belongs to health:  playing facilitates growth and therefore health;  playing leads into group relationships;  playing can be a form of communication in psychotherapy;  and, lastly psychoanalysis has been developed as a highly specialized form of playing in service of communication with oneself and others . . . (p. 257). D.W. Winnicott, continued 32
  • 33.  It also plays a crucial role in the integration of object-related wishes and fantasies as a means of problem-solving and reality testing.  Winnicott described how babies and children manipulate play objects in their environment to gain mastery over their growing object relationships.

  • 34.  Winnicott continues, “If the patient cannot play, then something needs to be done to enable the patient to become able to play, after which psychotherapy may begin” (1971, p. 54). D.W. Winnicott, continued CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/kid-child-young-childhood-1350663/ 34

  • 37.  One of Roger’s close colleagues, Virginia Axline (1947) collaborated with him on a number of occasions and is largely recognized as one of the founders of child-centered play therapy— a very special derivative of the client-centered approach used previously by Rogers with adult clients.

  • 39. Play therapy  Axline (1950) summarized her concept of play therapy, “A play experience is therapeutic because it provides a secure relationship between the child and the adult, so that the child has the freedom and room to state himself in his own terms, exactly as he is at that moment in his own way and in his own time” (p. 68). 39 CC0 Public Domain https://pixabay.com/en/boys-sitting-playing-toddlers-286784/
  • 40. There are eight basic principles that guide the child-centered play therapy as described by Axline (1947). They are: 1) The therapist must develop a warm, friendly relationship with the child, in which good rapport is established as soon as possible. 2) The therapist accepts the child exactly as he is. 3) The therapist establishes a feeling of permissiveness in the relationship so that the child feels free to express his feelings completely. 4) The therapist is alert to recognize the feelings the child is expressing and reflects those feelings back to him in such a manner that he gains insight into his behavior. The “ax”ioms of child-centered play therapy 40
  • 41. 5) The therapist maintains a deep respect for the child’s ability to solve his own problems if given an opportunity to do so. The responsibility to make choices and to institute change is the child’s. 6) The therapist does not attempt to direct the child’s actions or conversation in any manner. The child leads the way; the therapist follows. 7) The therapist does not attempt to hurry the therapy along. It is a gradual process and is recognized as such by the therapist. 8) The therapist establishes only those limitations that are necessary to anchor the therapy to the world of reality and to make the child aware of his responsibility in the relationship. (pp. 73-74) The “ax”ioms of child-centered play therapy, cont’d 41
  • 42. Child-centered play therapy involves free play with three types of equipment (Landreth, 1993). 1.Real-life toys include family dolls, doll houses, puppets, cars, trucks, a cash register, money, and other nondescript figures. 2.Play equipment may also include items that facilitate aggressive release such as bop bags, toy soldiers, animal figurines, guns, knives, and swords. 3.Equipment would also include items that facilitate creative and emotional expression including such things as crayons, paper, clay, sand and water, building blocks, an easel for drawing, and paint. (pp. 56-57). Play therapy equipment 42 Image by James Corbin used by permission
  • 43.  Hartley and his colleagues point to nine therapeutic benefits of play therapy (1952). Play gives children a chance to: 1) imitate various adults 2) play out real life roles in an intense way 3) reflect numerous relationships and experiences 4) express immediate and pressing needs 5) release unacceptable impulses and feelings 6) reverse roles usually taken in real life 7) mirror growth 8) work out problems and conflict 9) experiment with various solutions in a safe setting Therapeutic benefits of play therapy 43
