‘Strange Situation’ Training Programme with Dr Judith Solomon

The Strange Situation is among the most influential measures of infant mental health, and is the recommended assessment of attachment in young children by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

This 10-day training course, led by Dr Judith Solomon, provides a rare opportunity to learn the classification system for the Strange Situation from one of its contributing authors. The course will run on 3rd – 7th July 2017 and 10th – 14th July 2017 at St John’s College, University of Cambridge.

This opportunity is open to researchers and clinicians from psychology, psychiatry and paediatrics; and social workers and those from professional groups responsible for child safeguarding, mental health and wellbeing.
