The Talk: Jerry will be discussing his chapter in the recently released book, “Undoing Aloneness and the Transformation of Suffering: AEDP 2.0”. Called “Finding Healing in the Broken Places – Intra-relational AEDP work with Traumatic aloneness”, the chapter explores AEDP-informed parts work as a means of helping our clients transform overwhelming states of aloneness, dread, despair and shame into opportunities for growth and healing. Mr. Lamagna will discuss the topic of pathogenic affects in the context of AEDP metapsychology and examine the general usefulness of parts work in AEDP.

Jerry Lamagna, LCSW is a Sr. Faculty member of AEDP™ Institute and a psychotherapist in private practice in Manhattan and Westfield, New Jersey. His early career focused specifically on treating adult children raised in alcoholic families, where exposure to clinical challenges associated with complex trauma inspired him to pursue training in approaches like psychodrama, EMDR, ego state therapy, trauma/dissociative disorder treatment, IFS and of course, AEDP. In 2004, Jerry, along with Dr. Kari Gleiser developed a modified version of AEDP for the treatment of dissociative disorders. Since then, Jerry has authored three articles on AEDP and its application in treating complex trauma and in 2015 released a three DVD training video of his teaching and live clinical work. In addition to writing, supervising and providing psychotherapy, Jerry teaches AEDP seminars and all AEDP Certification courses: Immersion, Essential Skills, Advanced Skills and Core Training.
