- A short book on how AEDP is supervised and learned.
- Supervisors work from close study of videotaped sessions, attending to the here and now.
- Supervision treats the trainee the way AEDP treats a client: undo aloneness, affirm, and privilege the positive.
- Secure attachment is not a precondition of the work; it comes out of it, often helped by the supervisor's own risk-taking and disclosure.
Why it matters
- For therapists training in AEDP, and for supervisors of any approach who want a concrete, kind model of supervision.
- It is also a compact primer on AEDP skills.

What it argues
-
Supervision mirrors therapy1
What holds true for an AEDP client holds true for supervisees: undo aloneness, affirm, privilege the positive.
-
Security comes from the work1
Secure attachment doesn't precede supervision; it comes out of it, as supervisor and supervisee take risks together.
-
Healing, not pathology1
AEDP replaced the confrontation of intensive short-term dynamic therapy with empathy and a healing orientation.
Key ideas
-
Video, moment by moment3
Supervision works from videotaped sessions, with attention to affective resonance, empathy and dyadic affect regulation.
-
Learning the words1
Prenn catalogued AEDP interventions so trainees can answer 'What do I say now?'
-
Rigor without shame4
Fosha's phrase for AEDP's precise but non-shaming supervision.
-
Deliberate practice4
Fosha later wrote that the book became a primer on AEDP's deliberate practice.
Examples from the book
-
Two paths into AEDP1
Fosha recounts moving from psychoanalysis through Davanloo's ISTDP to AEDP; Prenn, a former Latin and Greek teacher, recounts learning AEDP by cataloguing interventions.
