2019 Conference Sessions, Presenters, and Slides

New Frontiers in Experiential Dynamic Therapy

To access slides from any presentation: look for the link that says (slides) after the presenter. Presenters are still sending in their slides, and we are still processing the ones that have been sent, so not all presentations have slides links. Please note that copies or citations of conference material should include proper attribution.

This is the list of sessions and presenters for our 2019 IEDTA Conference in Boston, “New Frontiers in Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT).”

We were very fortunate to have Dr. Edward Tronick‘s keynote address, “The Still-Face, Connection, and How Meaning-Making Affects Individuals’ Ways of Being and Experiencing the World” (slides).

Since the beginning, practitioners have worked to apply the core tenets of Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT) to new problems and in new settings. Our conference celebrated this work on “new frontiers” with sessions on the following topics.
