Book Club Mentorship Event

We are excited to invite you to a special IAEDP mentorship event on Monday, March 31st, 2025, from 1:00-2:30 PM!

This will be a wonderful opportunity to engage with Dr. Linda Buchanan, author of A Clinician’s Guide to Pathological Ambivalence: How to Be on Your Client’s Side Without Taking a Side. During this event, Dr. Buchanan will discuss the concepts from her groundbreaking book, which explores how to navigate the often complex and frustrating dynamic of resistance in therapy—particularly with clients who struggle with what she terms “pathological ambivalence.”

We’ll dive into how this concept, rooted in early experiences, biological factors, and psychological narratives, can reshape the way we understand and work with clients who seem stuck in their progress despite their deep desire for change.

We encourage you to read Dr. Buchanan’s book ahead of the event, so we can enjoy a rich, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation together. This is not just an opportunity to learn, but also to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and expand our understanding of challenging therapeutic dynamics.

We hope you’ll join us for this insightful and engaging conversation—it's sure to be a valuable experience for all!

There are only 10 spots, so RSVP today! We look forward to seeing you there!
