Complex trauma, complex parents: The intergenerational transmission of trauma
In our work with traumatized children, we so often find that their parents, too, are traumatized and so struggle to see and hear the child. Yet they are our conduit to the child, and the relational field is our focus. This presentation will focus on the complexities of working in the interface between parent and child trauma, of creating safety and trust in the face of deep wounds and fear.

Discussion
David Oppenheim, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychology and Vice Chair of the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Haifa, Israel. He also heads the Center for the Study of Child Development in that University. Dr. Oppenheim’s studies include the role of parental insightfulness and parent-child open communication in dyadic and triadic parent-child relationships from infancy throughout childhood. Dr. Oppenheim’s studies these questions in longitudinal studies including typically developing children, children with atypical development, and children at high risk such as those in foster care and those whose parents experienced trauma.
