SUMMARY:Observational Studies Program Conference: Exploring the Links: Moving from Observation to Transformative Interventions - Jeanne Magagna\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Observational Studies Program Conference\nExploring the Links: Moving from Observation to Transformative Interventions \n\nWe are excited to announce our upcoming conference with Jeanne Magagna\, PhD\,  Tavistock Centre-trained Child\, Adolescent and Adult Psychotherapist\nLondon\, UK \n \n\nSaturday\, November 1\, 2025\nGeorge Washington University Hospital Auditorium\n8:45 am – 4:45 pm ET\n6 CME/CE\nDr. Magagna’s work emphasizes the transformative power of observing babies\, a skill she has taught worldwide based on the Tavistock Clinic model. This approach has profound implications for enhancing our understanding of children and their families\, illustrating how early observation can deepen parents’ comprehension of their children. Her commitment to this method led to the development of a specialized nursery in Rome. She teaches and publishes internationally. Jeanne is the Joint Editor of various books including Intimate Transformations: Babies with their Families\, Psychotherapy with Families\, Being Present for  Your Nursery Age Child and The Silent Child: Communication without Words\, Creativity and Psychotic States and Contemporary Child Psychotherapy. She is also the author of The Psychotherapeutic Understanding of Children and Adolescents with Eating Difficulties.   \nHer most impactful work\, “The Silent Child: Communication Without Words\,” explores the challenges of treating 19 comatose non-verbal children in talking therapies. Magagna’s approach to psychotherapy is grounded in her early life experiences and the inspiration she drew from Esther Bick\, the originator of infant observation. Her journey from learning the craft under Bick’s tutelage to becoming a globally recognized educator and clinician underscores her passion and dedication to child mental health. \nClick here for a personal invitation from Dr. Magagna and learn more about the upcoming conference. \nRegistration Link: CLICK HERE\nProgram Flyer: CLICK HERE
