Quantum Transformation in Trauma and Treatment: Traversing the Crisis of Healing Change
Three ideas are discussed from the vantage point of accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP): Quantum changes operate not only in trauma, but also in healing; attachment plays a major role in whether fear or excitement is the response to novelty; experientially exploring the experience of transformation can itself lead to quantum change.

Transformational Affects and Core State in AEDP
Positive affects in the context of positive dyadic interactions are fundamental to mental health and the development of the self, and are here considered from within the vantage point of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an attachment and emotion model of psychotherapy. We explore three phenomenological/affective/behavioral sets of positive affects –mastery affects, healing affects, and core state--in the context of positive dyadic interactions and understand their adaptive values by referencing the realms of attachment, intersubjectivity and affective neuroscience.

ATTACHMENT THEORY : A GUIDE FOR COUPLES THERAPY
The application of attachment theory to adult relationships, which did not occur until the late 1980's, (Hazan & Shaver, 1987; Johnson, 1986), was a revolutionary event for the modality of couple therapy.

Hierarchical Information Processing: Cognitive, Emotional and Sensorimotor Dimensions
The debilitating, repetitive cycle of interaction between mind and body keeps past trauma “alive,” disrupting the sense of self and maintaining trauma-related disorders. Many people are left with a fragmented memory record of their traumatic experiences accompanied by a host of easily re-activated neurobiological responses.

The Core Emotional Systems of the Mammalian Brain
If we take a neuro-evolutionarily informed approach to the mental apparatus, we must recognize that our minds contain the rudiments of many fundamental psychological processes that emerged long before humans walked the face of the earth. Among the most important for understanding psychiatric disorders are the basic emotional tendencies of the brain: fear, anger, sexual urges, maternal devotion, separation distress and social bonding, playfulness, and a general desire-SEEKING system for seeking all life-sustaining objects of the world.
