BOOKS
It’s not Always Depression
Understanding and managing emotions is crucial for emotional health and well-being, as core emotions influence our responses to life’s challenges. In “It’s Not Always Depression,” Hilary Jacobs Hendel introduces The Change Triangle, a tool from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which helps individuals connect with their core emotions, ease anxiety and depression, and discover their authentic selves.
Undoing Aloneness & the Transformation of Suffering Into Flourishing: AEDP 2.0
In “Undoing Aloneness and the Transformation of Suffering Into Flourishing: AEDP 2.0,” Diana Fosha and her colleagues explore the evolution of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), highlighting its effectiveness in transforming emotional suffering into adaptive connection. The book integrates new findings from affective neuroscience to enhance AEDP’s therapeutic approach.
The Healing Powers of Emotion
In this addition to the Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, leading neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, therapy researchers, and clinicians illuminate how to regulate emotion in a healthy way. A variety of emotions are examined, drawing on research and clinical observations. The role of emotion in bodily regulation, dyadic connection, marital communication, play, well-being, health, creativity, and social engagement is explored.
The Transforming Power of Affect
The first model of accelerated psychodynamic therapy to make the theoretical why as important as the formula for how, Fosha’s original technique for catalyzing change mandates explicit empathy and radical engagement by the therapist to elicit and harness the patient’s own healing affects. Its wide-open window on contemporary relational and attachment theory ushers in a safe, emotionally intense, experience-based pathway for processing previously unbearable feelings.
Supervision Essentials for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
Utilizing insights from attachment theory and research in neuroplasticity, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) clinicians help clients unearth, explore and process core feelings in order to transform anxiety and defensiveness into long-lasting, positive change. In this book, AEDP founders and leaders Natasha C.N. Prenn and Diana Fosha offer a model of clinical supervision that is based on the AEDP approach. Using close observation of videotaped sessions, AEDP supervisors model a strong focus on here-and-now interactions, with a full awareness of affective resonance, empathy, and dyadic affect regulation phenomena.
Restoring Resilience
People enter therapy not just because they’re stuck and struggling, but also because they’re ready and hopeful for change. That readiness is a manifestation of each person’s innate resilience, their capacity to work on their own behalf to heal. Without discounting pathology, Russell offers that building from what’s going right is the best way to help. Drawing on interpersonal neurobiology, affect regulation research, and a number of theoretical orientations, this book will help therapists discover the potential for resilience in clients and help them cultivate it for lasting change.
Living Like You Mean It
The strategies in this book offer more than a quick fix. They are based on cutting-edge research about how the brain works, develops, and changes. As such, they’ll not only help you feel more alive, vital, and present in your life, but will fundamentally change the way your brain works. In fact, recent empirical studies out of Linköping University in Stockholm, Sweden, found the Living Like You Mean It program to be an effective treatment for overcoming anxiety, depression, and social anxiety.
