This comprehensive book offers a timely update on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), a groundbreaking approach that provides patients with corrective emotional and relational experiences that trigger profound changes in the brain. Practitioners of AEDP view psychopathology as a consequence of internal working models developed during insecure attachment experiences, which hinder adaptive functioning in adulthood. The primary objective of AEDP is to be therapeutically present with patients and their pain, guiding them toward a new and positive experience that rewires memory and enhances reflection capabilities.

To enhance the effectiveness of AEDP, the authors have incorporated emerging findings from the field of affective neuroscience into its second iteration, known as AEDP 2.0. By sharing excerpts and analyzing clinical session transcripts, the authors vividly demonstrate the transformative power of relational work. Throughout each chapter, they explore various aspects of the AEDP model, showcasing how emotional suffering can be transformed into adaptive connections, even among individuals with histories of neglect, abuse, and complex trauma.

This book is a valuable resource for mental health professionals seeking to expand their therapeutic toolbox and provide innovative treatment options for their clients. It offers a deep understanding of AEDP's theoretical foundations, practical applications, and evidence-based techniques, enabling practitioners to effectively address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Whether you are a seasoned AEDP practitioner or new to this approach, this book will provide you with valuable insights and practical strategies to enhance your client's healing and transformation.
