Invited Speakers:
Dr.
Diane A. Philipp, Understanding
Father-Mother-Baby Interactions: the Lausanne
Trilogue Play
paradigm and Adding Fathers into the Mother-Infant
Treatment: reflective family play
Dr Philipp is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto
Medical School, and is on faculty at the Hincks-Dellcrest Centre (HDC), where
she has headed an Infant and Preschool Treatment and Assessment team since
1998. In 2003-2004 Dr. Philipp spent a year in Lausanne learning about the Lausanne Trilogue
Play paradigm (LTP). The LTP is a tool used to assess the family alliance
and co-parenting in families, and it has become routine in the evaluation
process of families with very young children coming to the HDC. As well,
Dr. Philipp has developed a model of brief family therapy that combines her
training in attachment-focused treatments with the more systems-based approach
of the LTP. Thus was born a new treatment, Reflective Family Play (RFP) that
brings mothers and fathers into parent-infant treatment together, and allows
clinicians and families to explore issues such as coparenting as well as
sibling rivalry.
Dr. Daniel Paquette, The
Father-Child Activation Relationship: theory and method
Dr Paquette is an ethologist and
primatologist. After having carried-out research on the development of
aggression in young chimpanzees, he studied the development of children of
adolescent mothers at the Centre Jeunesse de Montréal-Institut Universitaire. He
is now Professor of Psychoeducation at the University of Montreal.
He teaches evolutionary developmental psychology and observational methods. His
research interests include aggression, attachment, parenting behaviour,
fathering, competition and physical play in preschool children. He wrote the
first evolutionary theory of fathering in humans (the activation relationship
theory) and created a procedure to evaluate the father-child attachment (the
risky situation).
