Articles by Dr Brenda Heyworth

Dr Heyworth has provided professional medical advice to thousands of families, foster carers, teachers, guidance officers and general practitioners over her 15 years of practicing psychiatry. Specialising in child and adolescent psychiatry for 11 years, Dr Heyworth has developed the „Jungle‟ analogy for children‟s emotions and behaviour that has implications for understanding the behaviour of us all. Dr Heyworth is a frequent speaker at local and state government child behaviour workshops and regularly holds her own seminars discussing strategies to manage and understand child and adolescent behavioural issues.
