These were my notes from the Neufeld lecture video that we watched in class. I really found this video helpful and I want to go back and watch the rest of these videos to get a more complete understanding of attachment theory.

Being the first to do anything is never easy. I felt really lucky to have randomly been part of a group with Alex and Mitch though. We definitely worked together well and embodied co-authoriship in our collaboration together. Mitch and Alex are alike and different at the same time. They were on the same page but on different pages at the same time. They wanted to approach the topic of Liam different ways. Mitch had a more structured approach that he wanted to take in the seminar and Alex had a very broad approach that he wanted to take. I feel like my part in our group was to act as a mediator between Mitch and Alex. I helped to solve disagreements and think about the logistics of our seminar. The seminar itself went well. We each had certain parts of the seminar that we led that suited our own strengths, however we learned a lot from each other by finding out what we each thought were the pertinent things to cover about Liam’s case. Alex and Mitch were both very interested in the theory and I was more interested in the practice and our seminar was a reflection of the connections that we made between theory and practice.

Are group has made a great start with Liam’s case. We divided our readings and each read one of the articles (other than the core readings). I read the darling and Steinburg article, but because of our group work discussing the articles and connecting them to each other, our personal experiences, and the case I feel like I have read all of them and that I understand all of the group readings really well.

This image is a photo of the notes that I was taking while we were doing our group work on this case.
