Healing Attachment Trauma with Attachment (and then some!): AEDP and Experiential Attachment Work
Diana Fosha, Ph.D.
August 7, 2008
Time: 9:00AM - 5:00 PM
Where: Boulder, CO
Conference: Hakomi Conference: The Essential Connection: Mindfulness, Brain and Body in Psychotherapy. August 7-10, 2008
As Bob Dylan sings, with attachment trauma, the good news is the bad news: "what drives me to you is what drives me insane." Attachment -- wired-in and central in the dyadic regulation of emotion -- is a powerful force. While secure attachment is at the core of resilience and optimal development, disrupted attachment underlies vulnerability to trauma. However, when explicitly worked with and experientially entrained in treatment, attachment is a powerful force for healing and repair.
AEDP seeks to entrain with three transformational processes -- attachment, emotion, transformation -- from the get-go. Drawing on affective neuroscience and developmental research, this workshop will explore how engendering a secure attachment relationship in the here-and-now can enhance the effectiveness of experiential work. Clinical videotapes of AEDP in action will show how (a) the therapist’s emotional engagement and attachment orientation, (b) experiential techniques, and (c) the Metatherapeutic processing of experiences of feeling safe, seen and helped can heal attachment trauma, foster resilience, and contribute to the emergence of vital and vibrant.

Conference: PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA: NEUROSCIENCE, ATTACHMENT AND
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS
Transforming Attachment Relationships
Kari Gleiser, Ph.D. & Mark Schwartz, Sc.D.June 26, 2008
Time: 9:00AM - 5:00PM
Where: Seaport World Trade Center, Boston, Massachusetts
Building on the work of Main, Fonagy, Beebe, Stern and others, this workshop will explore distorted internal working models of complex trauma survivors, focusing particularly on clients with eating disorders and dissociative symptomatology. We will show how specific relational interventions can restructure attachment, starting with the therapeutic relationship, then extending to intrarelational dynamics between self-states, and finally interpersonal relationships in general. This workshop will use videotaped segments of actual therapy sessions, along with theoretical and scientific research data on attachment and relational interventions.

Plenary: Wired to Heal: The Birth of Transformance
Diana Fosha, Ph.D.June 28, 2008
Time: 10:20AM - 11:30AM
Where: Seaport World Trade Center, Boston, Massachusetts
We are wired for growth, for healing, and for self-righting, i.e., for resuming impeded growth. Until recently, the mental health field, focused on pathology, lacked concepts to capture the motivational strivings for health and healing. Diana Fosha's presentation will seek to rectify that, and will introduce the concept of transformance. Drawing on neuroscience and developmental research, as well as the resilience-affirming clinical practice of AEDP, she will focus on how, through a relationship where the patient feels safe and known, we can awaken transformational strivings, and entrain them to process trauma and, in the process, enhance health, healing, and well-being

The Healing Vortex: How to Work with Transformational Processes in AEDP. A Workshop with Clinical Videotapes
Diana Fosha, Ph.D.June 28, 2008
Time: 1:40PM - 3:15PM
Where: Seaport World Trade Center, Boston, Massachusetts
In the right environment, trauma does not disqualify a person from having positive experiences. AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) aims to facilitate the patient’s having a new, reparative, and healing treatment experience from the get-go. Dyadic affect regulation, moment-to-moment tracking of fluctuations in deep, somatically based emotional experiencing in the context of a relationship with a "True Other,” and meta-therapeutic processing of such transformational experiences will be demonstrated. Clinical videotapes will illustrate how focusing on the patient’s experience of transformation becomes a transformational process in its own right and how this experience itself needs to be processed to completion in order to reap its profound benefits.

2008 ATTACH Conference: ATTACHMENT: DEVELOPING CONNECTIONS, SAVING LIVES
Keynote: Wired For Healing: The Birth of Transformance
Diana Fosha, Ph.D.
September 26, 2008
Time: 8:45AM - 10:15AM
We are wired for growth, for healing, and for self-righting, i.e., for resuming impeded growth. Until recently, the mental health field, focused on pathology, lacked concepts to capture the motivational strivings for health. Diana Fosha's keynote address will seek to rectify that, and will introduce the concept of transformance. Drawing on neuroscience and developmental research, as well as the resilience-affirming clinical practice of AEDP, her talk will focus on how we can relate -- in life, in parenting, in therapy. with each other, and within ourselves -- in ways that awaken transformational strivings, and in the process, enhance health, healing, and well-being.

Workshop: From Suffering To Flourishing: Healing Affects and Healing Interactions in AEDP
Diana Fosha, Ph.D.
September 26, 2008
Time: 1:30PM - 5:00PM
Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is one of the fastest growing approaches to trauma. Some of its assumptions include an emphasis on transformation, a healthy core within people, the importance of affect and emotion, and of the therapist manifesting qualities that foster safety and connection. This workshop is designed for practicing psychotherapists of varied orientations who wish to deepen their understanding of how attachment theory informs experiential psychotherapeutic work carried out from an empathic stance. Videotaped case examples will show a range of interventions that actively and explicitly (a) work with the attachment relationship between patient and therapist and (b) use that relationship to regulate, deepen and work through intense affective experience. The first part of the workshop will focus on working with the experience of attachment within the therapeutic relationship. The second part of the workshop will focus on working with the experience of core affect until adaptive healing resources are released and harnessed in the service of transforming trauma.

Using Short-Term Dynamic, Experiential Psychotherapies to Treat Adolescents and Adults.Steve Shapiro, Ph.D.
June 18-21, 2008 (Exact date to be announced)
Where: PA Psychological Association Annual Convention; Harrisburg HIlton
Contact: www.papsy.org; 717-232-3817
Harrisburg, PA
Using lecture and extensive video demonstration, the program illustrates the use of AEDP and other Experiential Dynamic Therapies for the treatment of symptom and character patterns in adolescents and adults. These approaches are characterized by an experiential, healing-oriented, transformation-based model that relies on the therapist's emotional engagement, focus, high activity level and attachment orientation to facilitate change in briefer periods than with traditional psychodynamic therapy.
Ongoing Training Seminar & Group Supervision in AEDP
Steve Shapiro, Ph.D.
Beginning January 2008
Where: Exton, PA (Suburban Philadelphia).
Contact: stevensshapiro@comcast.net
Phone: 610-688-4940
This training seminar will meet monthly as an ongoing, intensive, small group experience to initially introduce and then immerse participants in the theory and technique of AEDP through completion of two phases. Special emphasis will be given to different ways of working with various populations, ranging from over-regulated to under-regulated. Phase I (Seminar) will use a didactic format to introduce participants to the theory and technique of AEDP. This phase is ideal for those with little or no prior exposure to AEDP, but is also well suited for those wanting an extensive review of theory and technique. The format will include lecture, facilitated discussion, extensive review of the instructor's patient videos and skill building exercises. Phase II (Group Supervision) will involve supervision of participants' patient videos in a safe and cohesive small group setting to facilitate optimal integration of material. There will continue to be video presentations and teaching modules from the instructor during each meeting. The focus will be on accumulating technical skill, while acquiring an increasingly sophisticated base of theoretical understanding and knowledge.

Contemporary Issues in Psychopathology

Situating psychopathology within the context of a healing paradigm, this course ultimately aims to explore the human condition in a relational milieu. Emphasis will be placed on integrating insights in AEDP. Formulating human conflict through the lens of self-at-best (imago dei) versus self-at-worst model (wretched sinner), this course seeks to hold the optimistic view (What's right?) and pessimistic view (What's wrong?) of human functioning in creative synthesis. Conceptualizing healing as maximizing complexity in a non-linear dynamical system, we will explore the authentic I-Thou encounters as the optimal condition for catalyzing healing.
