In this comprehensive guide, Natasha Prenn and Diana Fosha, leading voices in the development of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, offer a model of clinical supervision based on this approach.

Utilizing insights from attachment theory and research in neuroplasticity, clinicians who practice accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP) help clients overcome anxiety and defenses to unearth, explore, and process core feelings in order to transform patterns of suffering into long-lasting, positive change.

This book offers a model of clinical supervision that is based on the AEDP approach. Making use of videotaped sessions, AEDP supervisors model a strong focus on here-and-now interactions characterized by affective resonance and empathy. The goal is to offer trainees a visceral, transformative experience that complements their growing intellectual understanding of how to make change happen in AEDP.
