“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 required for certification and is the recommended first course for eligible therapists who are seeking to learn more about AEDP method of psychotherapy, whether or not they intend to become Certified.
Who Immersion is for:
Immersion is for licensed mental health practitioners (or the local/regional equivalent to ‘licensed’**) as well as interns legally practicing under the license of a supervising practitioner.
These licensed mental health practitioners include: Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, Doctors, Nurses, Psychoanalysts, Psychotherapists, other Behavioral Health Therapists and related professionals.
** Every country / state / province has different rules regarding licensing. While AEDP™ Institute is generally familiar with navigating the licensing process in the U.S., we are not familiar with the process and regulations in most other countries. Our practice is to consult local AEDP practitioners for information on the nuances of education, licensing and other regulations in their areas.
If you have a question about the relevance of this course for you and/or your eligibility for this course please contact admin@aedpinstitute.org with your credentials before registering. For information about whether this course offers Continuing Education credits for your license, see each course page.
