• CC19 Keynote 03 - The Neuroscience Behind Doing the Right Thing - Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT Description: We currently live in a time of great emotional stress around matters of fairness, justice, ethics, and morality.
• As couple therapists, we are working with the smallest unit of a society, the two-person system that is the primary attachment partnership.
• Therapists should have a strong understanding of their own moral and ethical compass when guiding partner behavior that occurs inside and outside of therapy.
• Therapists should also have at least a beginning knowledge of the psycho-neurobiological correlates of not only fairness, justice, and sensitivity, but of the ability to do the right thing for the self as well as the other.
• This keynote will attempt to cover very dense but vital topic that answers questions such as, why do we self-harm, do things that make use feel better at the cost of being better, as well as act first and think later.
