We are please to announce a 2-day workshop on AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), the 1st ever in France, with its founder Diana Fosha. The seminar will be translated from English into French by bilingual psychologists trained in AEDP. Participants : This training is aimed at all mental health professionals (GP, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts....) AEDP is a rich creative relevant system of interventions. Attachment based and healing oriented, it helps you connect with your patient and use the power of emotion to create change. AEDP features specific intervention strategies for working explicitly, dyadically, and experientially with intense unresolved traumatic emotions in a that way transforms suffering and fosters patients feeling deeply recognized and understood, safe and secure, and as a result, curious and increasingly capable in relation to Self and others. Unique in its intimate, moment-to-moment relational work which follows the edge of transformational experience, AEDP also reflects the seamless integration of psychodynamic principles with experiential techniques of trauma-based & body-oriented therapies, and the wisdom of the humanistic and mindfulness traditions.
Empathy, attachment, mindfulness and resilience are all buzzwords in the current psychotherapy zeitgeist. Many models reference one or more of these concepts as their core therapeutic principles. Fewer models explicitly translate these broad concepts into specific and refined intervention strategies. AEDPs with its dual clinical focus on (a) directly translating attachment research into the clinical practice of fostering secure attachment and (b) naming, tracking and experientially amplifying the specific, moment-to-moment markers of positive transformation, does. This two day workshop will introduce clinicians to a therapy that that makes use of experiential techniques and focuses on moment-tomoment dyadic affective processes to help patients access and regulate intense emotions. AEDP features an explicitly empathic, affirming, emotionally engaged therapeutic stance, active relational techniques and experiential interventions to make the most of transformational processes. We will focus on both theory and techniques. Teaching will make extensive use of videotaped material from actual psychotherapy sessions to illustrate both affective phenomena and clinical techniques.
Diana Fosha, Ph.D. is the developer of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an internationally recognized approach that specializes in training therapists in a transformational approach to the treatment of attachment trauma. She is founder and director of the AEDP Institute. Diana is on the cutting edge of transformational theory and practice. Changing how we think about change, she is opening up exciting possibilities for what can happen in psychotherapy. She is the author of The Transforming Power of Affect: A Model for Accelerated Change (Basic Books, 2000), and first editor, along with Dan Siegel and Marion Solomon, of The Healing Power of Emotion: Affective Neuroscience, Development, & Clinical Practice (Norton, 2009), and author of papers and chapters on healing transformational processes in experiential psychotherapy and trauma treatment. A DVD of her AEDP work with a patient has been released by APA, as part of their Systems of Psychotherapy Video Series (APA, 2006), and another one is on the works. Many of her papers are available through the AEDP website at www.aedpinstitute.com
