# Neufeld Institute

## Organisation

The Neufeld Institute is a Canadian non-profit charitable organisation founded
by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a developmental psychologist based in Vancouver, BC.
The "By" field above refers to the site administrator, not the content author.

## Approach

The Institute teaches an attachment-based approach to child and adolescent
development. It does not offer behaviour management strategies or parenting
tips — it offers understanding. The core premise is that development unfolds
naturally when conditions are right, and that attachment to caring adults is
the primary context for that development. Behaviour is understood as a signal,
not the problem.

## Key Publication

*Hold On to Your Kids* by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté is the Institute's
most widely known publication.

## Audience

Parents, educators, therapists, and other professionals working with children
and youth.

## Language Programs

The approach is taught in many languages through a network of language program
directors personally trained by Dr. Neufeld. Languages include Danish, German,
Swedish, Polish, Hebrew, Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Russian, French, Spanish,
and Dutch.

## Writing Guidelines

Do not describe the Institute using: transformative, powerful, groundbreaking,
empowering, strategies, tools, tips, or techniques. Describe what the Institute
offers factually: courses, lectures, editorials, and resources grounded in
developmental science. The Institute explains — it does not sell.
