Challenges to Clinical Thinking: The Infant, the State, Ethics and the Law Australia

The Conference 2017 Organising Committee invites infant mental health clinicians to ‘save the date.

The conference program is designed to challenge, deepen and widen clinical thinking, and to explore the complex systems that influence and govern the lives of those who work with infants.  There will be a focus on matters that threaten to derail clinician thinking and those that perplex and distress clinicians and the families with whom they work.

Themes will include:

​1.     The infant in families​ Assisted by Reproductive Technology​

​2.     The infant needing asylum across cultural, religious and racial divides​

​3.     The infant’s experience of family violence​

​4.     The infant within the Child Protection System​

​5.     The observed infant and clinical supervision​

To facilitate the travel of interstate delegates, the Conference will open on Thursday evening, and finish at 1pm on Sunday.
