    • Definition and insight into the concept of latent vulnerability and ecophenotypes, and the impact of maltreatment.
    • The problematic behavioural presentations that you would expect to see in individuals exposed to childhood maltreatment.
    • Evidence-based tools for treatment and how knowledge about alterations in brain functioning changes the clinical approach to treatment.
