The Northern Ireland Branch of The British Psychological Society (NIBPS) and the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) are delighted to be working with the Northern Ireland Branch of The Division of Clinical Psychology (DCPNI) for the Societies’ first lecture in the 2013/2014 public lecture series, which is a follow up to the 2012/2013 series that attracted almost 800 delegates.

The 2013/2014 public lecture series begins on 4th September with a free public lecture presented by Dr Dan Hughes. The lecture will benefit both professionals and carers who are working with children and young people with attachment difficulties. 

‘Why are you doing that?
Questions asked by parents/carers and children about the behaviour of their children and parents/carers: Creating doubts about negative assumptions’.
