BACKGROUND UPDATE

Our medical director currently supervises five preschool therapeutic sites affiliated with this agency in Seattle, Cambridge MA, St. Louis, MO and Buenos Aires and in the Bay Area. Wellspring Family Services in Seattle is developing three Reflective Network Therapy classrooms, using point to point videoconferencing. This has proven quite effective for preschoolers they are already treating with Reflective Network Therapy. Some of their work is amazing with highly traumatized children. Bay Area, Buenos Aires and Cambridge work with autistic preschoolers is equally surprising and fascinating. Interpersonal and psychodynamic approaches appear much more valuable than previously expected for preschoolers with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders, as well as (less surprisingly) quite robust results for preschoolers with posttraumatic disorders. Alexandra Harrison, MD of Harvard Medical School Dept. of Child Psychiatry is using the method in the Cambridge-Wells preschool. She reports very good results with her first four preschoolers. One has already lost the diagnosis of autism, after less than a year's treatment using Reflective Network Therapy. See Affiliated Service Sites
