Good friend Diana Wais recently become a faculty member of a branch of psychotherapy called AEDP – which stands for, “Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy”
This family of therapies – which includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is very very different from traditional analytical approaches (Freud and Jung.)
In addition to being a powerful form of psychotherapy, it makes fascinating reading for those who are interested in attachment theory. Although this link is to a site entitled “trauma resources”, it has a wealth of resources for anyone.
Here is the link to the site:
trauma resources – psychological / emotional trauma redefined
Here is what the introduction to the site says:

This is a professionally reviewed, non-commercial website for parents, teaching and health professionals and those who suffer from the effects of extreme stress. The intense and unrelenting stress that we focus on is known as emotional trauma.
Our purpose is to help you recognize that psychological/emotional trauma is:

• a very common experience for both children and adults.
• a reaction to environmental experience that results in disruptions in the brain.
• characterized by ongoing emotional, health and learning problems.
• healed through interventions that calm and correct neurological focus and function.
  

This definition is based on a broad spectrum of brain research and technology and is broader, though inclusive, of trauma defined by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.)
We began as community sponsored conferences that focused on leading edge discoveries in the field of child development, brain research and psychological trauma. We titled our conferences “From Neurons to Neighborhoods” and continue as a community based collaborative that includes parents, teachers, and health care providers. We are professionals and nonprofessionals dedicated to changing public policy by recognizing the role parents play in regulating their children’s lives. Our emphasis is on prevention of early life trauma, neurological regulation and regenerative healing for individuals who are traumatized.
This site offers information and hope to parents, teachers, mental health providers and those who suffer from traumatic stress.
