The Science Of Love: A Validation Of Uu’s Principles And Values
with Chris Walker, Anne Jungerman, and Brian Shaw
Chris will give a brief overview of Attachment Theory, with the intention of demonstrating that it provides a scientific validation for the foundations to love, and thus validation for the principles and values of UU, especially “The inherent worth and dignity of every person.”; “Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.”; “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.”; and UU’s strong belief in promoting love within the community and the world. She hopes that the key concepts and perspective derived from attachment research, combined with some mindful techniques, will be helpful to NVUU as it carries out its mission.
Chris Walker, MSW LCSW, is a retired psychotherapist from Virginia. Her 55-year career spanned years of work in public social service agencies as a foster care and adoption social worker, and education where she was part of the special education evaluation process. Subsequently she established a small, private adoption agency which facilitated domestic and international adoptions , and later a clinical psychotherapy practice.
Her passion has been to help people understand themselves from the inside out, using the integration of Attachment Theory and neuroscience as a lens through which to understand human nature. She has also been strongly influenced by her study of birth psychology.
She finds that there is a strong overlap between Attachment Theory and the principles and values of Unitarian Universalism, and is excited to share some of the highlights. Learn more about her HERE.
