ABFT (Attachment-Based Family Therapy)

Venue :Sunshine hospitals – secunderabad
Date and Time16-April-2014 at 6 PM

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is a treatment for adolescents ages 12-18 that is designed to treat clinically diagnosed major depressive disorder, eliminate suicidal ideation, and reduce dispositional anxiety. The model was developed by Professor Guy Diamond and his colleagues in USA. It is based on an interpersonal theory of depression, which proposes that the quality of family relationships may precipitate, exacerbate, or prevent depression and suicidal ideation. In this model, ruptures in family relationships, such as those due to abandonment, neglect, or abuse or a harsh and negative parenting environment, influence the development of adolescent depression. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method and is approved by relevant authorities in USA as an empirically based treatment.

Dr. Pravin Israel is a clinical psychologist with roots from Hyderabad. He studied BA (psychology) at Nizams college and MA in USA. He completed a 6-year professional degree in clinical psychology at the University of Oslo, Norway and earned a Ph.D from the University of Bergen, Norway. He currently lives in Oslo, Norway and is working as senior researcher at the largest hospital in Norway – Akershus University Hospital. He is also associate professor at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway. He specialized in clinical work with children and adolescents where working with families and the context around children is an important focus. His research focuses on testing effectiveness of psychological interventions in community clinics. He is a close collaborator with Professor Guy Diamond and his team and is currently running a large clinical study on ABFT in Norway. He is the main trainer and supervisor for ABFT in Norway.
