Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is one of the fastest growing approaches to working with attachment trauma.  Its transformational theory, a basis for putting neuroplasticity into clinical action, is similarly receiving increasing recognition.  Until recently, the mental health field, focused on pathology, and lacked concepts to capture the motivational strivings for health.  Drawing on neuroscience and developmental research, AEDP rectifies the bias towards pathology.  Building on our natural resilience, its therapeutics are based on our innate healing capacities, for we are wired for healing, self-righting and for resuming impeded growth.  AEDP's clinical practice shows how to entrain that and harness it in treatment.

AEDP assumes a healthy core within all people and emphasizes the importance of experiential work with attachment, emotion and transformation.  It leverages safety and connection within the therapist-client relationship to facilitate healing.  This workshop will deepen your understanding of how attachment theory informs experiential psychotherapeutic work carried out from an empathic stance.

The first part of the workshop will focus on working with the experience of attachment within the therapeutic relationship.  Videotaped case examples will show a range of interventions that (a) actively and explicitly work with the experience of the attachment relationship between patient and therapist, and (b) use that relationship to regulate, deepen and work through intense affective experience.  The second part of the workshop will explore working with the experience of core affect until adaptive healing resources are released and harnessed in the service of transforming trauma.  This will be an interactive workshop.  A dyadic, collaborative process will be entrained between the presenter and workshop participants.  This process is designed to support the emergence of the very positive transformational phenomena that are at the heart of AEDP.
 
You will learn:
  • The theory of transformance and its role in development and therapy.
  • How to use the patient’s experience of transformation to activate further healing and consolidation of gains already made, i.e., how to put neuroplasticity in action
  • How to foster a therapeutic attachment-based stance to facilitate affect regulation between therapist and client
  • Experiential techniques to help a client process intense emotional experiences
  • How to identify some of the signs and markers of the moment-to-moment process of healing change
  • The essential aspects of human environments and relationships that foster the emergence of transformance
 
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places,” said Hemingway.  Diana Fosha adds: “There is no better way to capture the ethos of AEDP than to say that we try to help our patients--and ourselves—become stronger at the broken places . . . and to discover places that have always been strong and never were broken.”
 
The presenter DIANA FOSHA, Ph.D.,an APA Master Therapist, is the developer of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and the Director of the AEDP Institute.  She is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology of both NYU and St. Luke's/Roosevelt Medical Centers in NYC.  She has written extensively on experiential psychotherapy and trauma treatment and is the author of The Transforming Power of Affect: A Model for Accelerated Change (Basic Books, 2000) and co-editor with Dan Siegel and Marion Solomon of The Healing Power of Emotion: Affective Neuroscience, Development, Clinical Practice (Norton, 2009).  She teaches, supervises, and is in private practice in New York City, where she also teaches one of the AEDP Immersion courses every year. Many of her papers are available through the AEDP website at www.aedpinstitute.com.
