This webinar is the first in a new series of free events created from listening closely to our Spanish-speaking community.
Through a dedicated survey, clinicians shared not only the challenges they face in daily practice, but also who they most wanted to learn from and the topics they wished to explore in greater depth.
We carefully reviewed their responses and reached out to the three speakers who received the most requests — and this session is the first step in responding to what they asked for.
Childhood and Adolescence Today: New Forms of Suffering and Challenges for Clinical Intervention
Contemporary childhood and adolescence confront us with forms of suffering that cannot be understood solely through symptoms, but through the relational context in which they emerge.
Emotional dysregulation, fragile identity development, and relational emptiness point to systems that need safe spaces where children and adolescents can feel, play, and symbolize their experiences. From a systemic emotional perspective, we understand that distress is constructed in relationship—but also that repair occurs in relationship.
This webinar offers a clinical framework in which attachment, therapeutic play, and shared emotional experience become central axes of intervention. A structured methodology integrating assessment and treatment will be presented, facilitating processes of regulation, meaning-making, and strengthening of the self within the family context.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand emerging forms of distress in children and adolescents from a systemic emotional perspective centered on attachment and relationships.
- Identify the role of play, symbolization, and emotional regulation as key tools for the repair of psychological suffering.
- Present the SER Model (Systemic-Emotional-Relational) as an evidence-informed methodology developed over more than 15 years for clinical assessment and intervention with children and adolescents.
