Commencing 6th March 2021

Weekly Seminars via Zoom

Saturdays 14.00 – 15.30  GMT/BST

The International Attachment Network is proud to relaunch its Post Graduate Certificate in Attachment Theory. Originally launched in 1999, the Post Graduate Certificate in Attachment Theory is designed to empower students with a comprehensive understanding of the roots and clinical application of contemporary developments in attachment theory. Lecturers are drawn from IAN’s impressive Honorary Membership;  seminal thinkers, researchers, and clinicians in the attachment field, delivering the original foundations and contemporary developments of Bowlby’s thinking and the myriad of varying branches of application that have advanced in the clinical and research field.

This fully online program can be taken either as an entire course for the Post-Graduate Certificate in Attachment Theory, or lectures and seminars can be attended individually for which CPD certificates will be issued. To qualify for the award of the IAN Post-Graduate certificate students must attend 18 of the 22 lectures. Due to the international nature of some of the speakers the lectures will be either live of pre-recorded which this will be indicated nearer the lecture date. Each weekly Saturday afternoon lecture will be one hour long, followed by a live 30 minute discussion group hosted by the speaker (where delivered live) or by a member of the International Attachment Network.

Registrants must be able to demonstrate at minimum graduate qualifications in psychotherapy, psychology (clinical or counselling), counselling and psychiatry. Applications from allied professions are decided on a case by case basis and queries about suitability should be addressed to admin@ian-attachment.org,uk
