“As I heard Diana Fosha eloquently lay out the theoretical basis of AEDP seamlessly integrating the clinical and research literature on attachment with affective neuroscience, and then witnessed its immediate positive impact on the many clients we saw on videotape, and then had the opportunity to safely practice some of the new learning with fellow [Immersion] participants, I still vividly recall the feeling of “coming home” and the recognition that AEDP would henceforth ground my clinical work, my teaching, and my personal exploration.”
~ Steve Kanofsky, PhD Professor Emeritus, The Wright Institute, Berkeley, CA
Immersion is your first step toward AEDP Certification
AEDP™ Immersion is the first of the AEDP certification courses. After completion you will be considered AEDP Level 1.
This training is designed for therapists who meet eligibility criteria and wish to deepen their understanding of the AEDP method of psychotherapy, regardless of their intention to pursue certification.
