ATTACHMENT THEORY
Post Graduate Certificate
International Attachment Network
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 Members, 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.
Each weekly 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.
