25 years of Developmental psychological counseling!
On March 26th, we celebrated the anniversary of the developmental psychological counselling service for families with young children in Berlin - a key service for parents that was developed and established as an important component in various support systems even before the start of the Early Intervention Services.
We were able to delve deeper into Ute Ziegenhain's interesting retrospective during breaks and at the reception with Hellgard Rauh, who, as one of the very few female psychology professors at the time, did pioneering work in the developmental psychology of early childhood from the late 1970s onwards.
Gottfried Spangler, with his fascinating lecture from a bio-psycho-social perspective, illuminated the complex interplay of genetics, physiology, psychological predispositions and social context in early childhood, and I was able to discuss, against the background of familial change, the tasks involved in strengthening family relationships.
The final flourish before the reception was provided by the panel discussion of many renowned partners who highlighted progress in services for families in the early developmental phase of children, but also emphasized the demanding needs of highly stressed families who depend on particularly well-qualified professionals and effective, well-coordinated services.
