The Department of Psychiatry is pleased to welcome Alicia Lieberman, PhD from the University of California/San Francisco (UCSF), on March 01, 2024 when she will present our Master Clinician Lecture.
Dr. Lieberman is the Irving B. Harris Endowed Chair in Infant Mental Health and Vice Chair for Academic Affairs at the UCSF Department of Psychiatry. She also directs the Child Trauma Research Program. Her major interests include infant mental health, disorders of attachment, early trauma treatment outcome research, and mental health service disparities for underserved and minority children and families. Dr. Lieberman's current research involves treatment outcome evaluation of the efficacy of child-parent psychotherapy with trauma-exposed children aged birth to six and with pregnant women involved in domestic violence. As a trilingual, tricultural Jewish Latina, she has a special interest in cultural issues involving child development, child rearing, and child mental health.
In her presentation Dr. Lieberman will describe Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidence-based treatment for young children who experienced family violence, loss of a loved one, medical trauma, natural disasters, war and terrorism. The research documenting CPP efficacy will be described and the theoretical framework will be illustrated using a clinical example and the fidelity measures that guide adherence to the model. She will also address the challenges of a family approach as well as the two-generation healing made possible by a focus on the parent-child relationship as the vehicle for treatment.
