Dr Bessel Van de Kolk, a controversial yet highly regarded expert on trauma discusses some of the uncomfortable findings from his research and it's implication in clinical work and the lives of sufferers.

Professor Peter Kinderman is the current chairman of The British Psychological Society. In this keynote address he talks about the need for a new approach to mental health and its treatment. Many of his ideas are consistent with those of  Sequential Psychotherapy, mainly that the vast majority of symptoms people experience aren't the result of 'illness', but are natural adaptations to personal life-experiences. As such, the over-labelling and over-medicating of individuals in society is ridiculous and dangerous.

Professor Paul Gilbert, the developer of Compassion Focused Therapy, presents an insightful exploration of the complex issue of the modern human brain; a brain shaped by millions of years of evolution through brutal survival conditions, which now finds itself in fairly cushy conditions, yet still reacts to events in a viscous and tribal manner.

In this long talk, Dr Dan Siegel discusses the important neurological developments taking place through adolescence. The talk provides a good insight into the human brain and and the importance of integration across the brain's processing systems. The theory behind Sequential Psychotherapy is that when issues exist in one region of the brain, it can lead to issues in other regions (or processing systems). Good mental health results from aligning each of these key neurological systems.
