Dr. Alicia Lieberman Colloquium

The Violence and Trauma Group Study is pleased to announce that we will be hosting Dr. Alicia Lieberman for a School of Social Welfare sponsored colloquium on April 21st.

Alicia F. Lieberman, PhD is the Irving B. Harris Endowed Chair in Infant Mental Health and Vice Chair for Academic Affairs at the UCSF Department of Psychiatry, and Director of the Child Trauma Research Project at San Francisco General Hospital. She is a clinical consultant with the San Francisco Human Services Agency. She is active in major national organizations involved with mental health in infancy and early childhood. She is president of the board of directors of Zero to Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families, and on the Professional Advisory Board of the Johnson & Johnson Pediatric Institute. She has served on peer review panels of the National Institute of Mental Health, is on the Board of Trustees of the Irving Harris Foundation, and consults with the Miriam and Peter Haas Foundation on early childhood education for Palestinian-Israeli children.


Dr. Lieberman will discuss Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) as a treatment method for young children who have been exposed to violence. She will be responsive to the interests of the group, so perhaps we can prepare some questions or topics before the colloquium for her to address. There will also be time during the event for questions and discussion.
