ABSTRACT

This chapter explains aspects of accelerated experiential dynamic therapy (AEDP) that are key to its transformational effects. It focuses on the phenomenology of the transformational process that guides AEDP. The chapter shows AEDP in therapeutic action, using a transcript of a videotaped therapy session. The manifestation of neuroplasticity in therapeutic action, transformance names the innate, wired-in motivational drive toward healing and self-repair present in all of us. In a clear departure from neutrality, the AEDP therapist takes a page from security engendering mothers. The practice of metatherapeutic processing involves experientially investigating what is healing about healing, in the context of a healing relationship. The moment-to-moment guidance of clinical practice by the phenomenology of several states of the transformational process is foundational to AEDP's systematic transformational work. The chapter concludes with brief reflections on re-wiring and on what it takes to be a transformational therapist.
