For those studying developmental psychology, it’s always worth taking the chance to see Colwyn Trevarthen talk about his research. I was lucky enough to see him do this in person once. He was an inspiring pioneer. #Psychology #ChildDevelopment

What a lovely bit of feedback for this evening's first session of #TheTrevarthenSeries. As another participant said: "Teasing & shyness. Who knew they could be so profound?" Great start to a month full of conversations!

"I am absolutely driven to promote attachment & connection in professional practice. So I'm looking forward to your lecture series on Trevarthen."
This is one of the messages we've received in the last 24 hours. We're looking forward to tonight's kick off!

Our first guest speaker for the new Trevarthen Series course has just been in touch to talk about plans for her presentation. She's said: "Okay, I'm going start with a question: "Why would we care whether or not we humans know other minds in everyday life!" Loving her enthusiasm.
Starts 6 May.
We have a steadily growing number of folk signing up for our new webinar course taking a deep dive into the work of Colwyn Trevarthen. That's brilliant, because his work forms the foundation for a contemporary understandng of human relational capacities.
