The PPSC Annex

The  PPSC annex™ provides opportunities for mental health practitioners to augment their core clinical trainings through seminars, workshops and programs on complementary modalities, theories and techniques, practice building and management, and other areas of mental health education. 
 
The  PPSC  annex™  classes are both practical and affordable, and offer quality exposure to new areas of practice without requiring the commitment of a full training program. 

This Fall, workshops in Couples, Family and Child therapy will be featured. In the coming year and beyond, look for trainings in a wide variety of areas including parenting, creative arts therapies, body-centered therapies, sex therapy and more.

Upcoming Workshops

Introduction to AEDP

PRACTICING WHAT WE PREACH

How to utilize what we’re learning from Attachment Theory and Neurobiology with Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)  

Benjamin Liption, LCSW
Senior Faculty, AEDP Institute

Friday, March 12, 2010

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Click here to register for this workshop.

While many models of psychotherapy acknowledge the significance of attachment theory and neurobiology, AEDP goes a step further by creating an experiential approach that operationalizes and integrates this research.  Rather than focusing on psychopathology, AEDP privileges “wired-in” capacities for healing in an experiential, emotion-focused model that moves beyond symptom management toward deep and lasting psychological transformation.

      In this workshop, Mr. Liption will present videotape of actual AEDP psychotherapy sessions to demonstrate how AEDP works to:

  • Rapidly promote the development of a secure attachment relationship
  • Balance therapist authenticity and technical specificity
  • Facilitate and regulate a patient’s body-based experiencing of emotion
  • Track moment-to-moment the patient’s affective and relational experience
  • Target and repair relational pathology
  • Integrate right- and left-brain functioning to actively work through traumas
  • Use videotape to catalyze the therapeutic process and maximize self-supervision

Benjamin Lipton, LCSW is a Senior Faculty member of the Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Institute and supervises individuals and groups learning AEDP around the US.  He is the editor of From Crisis to Crossroads: Gay Men Living with Chronic Illnesses and Disabilities (Haworth Press, 2004), has published several clinical articles and book chapters, and frequently presents AEDP at conferences and workshops.  Mr. Lipton previously was the Director of Clinical Services at Gay Men’s Health Crisis and Adjunct faculty at New York University and Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.  He maintains a private practice in Manhattan.
