  • On-site Formalized Training

Training for the intermediate and advanced levels will require at least a Master's Degree in the field of Human Services. We are planning several trainings at various levels throughout the next year, and want to group individuals according to prior training or experience in this field. 

Basic Level of Training

The Basic Level of Training is for individuals with limited previous reading/training in Attachment Theory. Didactic and process groups will focus on understanding the theoretical basis for Attachment Theory, understanding children with Attachment Disorder within the context of their families, understanding assessment techniques and differential diagnosis, understanding a basic framework for treatment and therapeutic parenting, and exploring professional integrative issues. This course will be scheduled when a minimum of five participants submit a $100 deposit. 
COST- $1,000 includes Lodging.

(Individuals with sufficient previous experience or knowledge may elect to take a competency exam in lieu of the Basic Level of Training-$100)

Intermediate Level of Training

The Intermediate Level of Training will involve observation of a two-week intensive, including processing each day's therapy sessions. It will also include additional didactic and process experiences, focusing on specific therapeutic techniques and issues as well as therapeutic parenting techniques essential to the treatment process. See the linked outline describing the training. 
COST- $3,000 includes Lodging

The intermediate level of training will be provided three times in 2007: 

We must receive a $1700 deposit at least four weeks prior to each session along with your application in order to secure your spot with the group. Each session will be limited to six and will be determined on a first come first serve basis.

Advanced Level of Training

The Advanced Level must be arranged with a qualified Attachment/Holding Supervisor who can provide the necessary supervision/mentoring essential to developing the art and skills of an Attachment/Holding Therapist. The fees for this level will be determined on an individual basis.

Individuals may choose to end their training at any point during this process, but should complete the entire process if they desire to practice as Attachment/Holding Therapists.
