Gil Tunnell, PhD

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) to Couple Treatment

With its theoretical basis on attachment theory and through its clinical interventions based on dyadic regulation of affect, Diana Fosha's model of AEDP can be usefully applied to work with some couples. Similarities and differences will be discussed between AEDP and two popular models of couple therapy, Structural Family Therapy (Minuchin) and Emotionally Focused Therapy with Couples (Johnson). Edited videotapes of AEDP-derived clinical interventions with couples will demonstrate deepening of affect and dyadic regulation of affect.

Dr. Gil Tunnell trained with Salvador Minuchin in the 1980s and most recently completed his third year of core training in AEDP with Diana Fosha. He was director of family therapy training at Beth Israel Medical Center in the mid-90s and is now in full-time private practice in New York City. He is the co-author with David Greenan of Couple Therapy with Gay Men. He teaches family therapy at Teachers College, Columbia University.
