Please note:  This workshop is an introduction to the clinical application of the AAI and is not a substitute for the required formal training to properly score it.

Getting CEU’s doesn’t have to be dull. Come join us!

I’ll explain the structure and function of the AAI’s 20 question assessment. The inventory begins with early childhood attachment, separation, trauma assessment, and shifts in attachment from adolescence to adulthood. I will discuss organized attachment strategies in infants and adults.

There will be a demonstration of the meat of the AAI followed by a dyadic experiential breakout where you will give and answer parts of the AAI.  Following this interaction we’ll evaluate what we have learned.

We will move on to questions for trauma assessment and changes from adolescence to adulthood. From the evaluation perspective we will focus on becoming resolved to trauma or remaining unresolved and how this matrix impacts sustaining secure attachment. This section will also include demonstration and experiential dyads.

The training will end with ideas for the formation of a treatment plan and interventions to guide your clients toward repair of insecure attachment. Analysis of how attachment strategies reveal themselves in the transference will also be explored.

At this workshop you will learn:

  • To use the Adult Attachment Interview in a one session framework and how to listen for and understand the adult categories of organized attachment.
  • Identify your own attachment strategy
  • Describe models for attachment repair
  • Use the AAI to help identify the attachment patterns of your clients.
