The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) in Specialist Practice
This is a foundational course for those who want to learn how to use the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) in their work, as well as how danger, trauma and adaptation are understood within the DMM model.
Participants will learn to build a danger chronology based on DMM-AAI and to interpret key information from interview results for treatment planning. They will also learn the core principles of formulation and treatment justification grounded in the DMM model, applied to individual work and work with families.
This course lays a strong foundation for further study of the DMM model.
Course structure
The course is designed for 60 hours
Online lectures
Five sessions of 4 hours each.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Understanding the AAI
Understand the structure and purpose of the Adult Attachment Interview, its history and the foundations of attachment theory.
Applying it in practice
Understand how to use and apply the AAI in practice, and how to do so ethically and within the limits of one's competence.
Danger chronology
Read an AAI and build and analyse a danger chronology based on the content of the interview.
Developmental conditions and prevention
Use the AAI questionnaire and the danger chronology to understand the developmental conditions that precede disorders and difficulties, and to identify opportunities for prevention — moments when a risky developmental pathway can be changed into a more adaptive and flexible one.
Symptoms and functions
Understand the difference between symptom-based and function-based formulation.
Treatment planning
Apply the principles of DMM integrative therapy when formulating a treatment plan.
AAI classification
Have a basic understanding of the elements of AAI classification and of how a classification is assembled in a clinically meaningful sequence.
New DMM approaches
Understand the new approaches to prevention and therapy proposed by DMM. The course addresses topics including:
Psychological trauma through the DMM lens
Understand psychological trauma through the DMM lens, including redefining the absence of resolution as an opportunity for new learning about danger/safety and anxiety/comfort. View trauma symptoms as a signal that something must be learned after a dangerous event.
Choosing a therapeutic strategy
Understand how to choose the sequence, type and intensity of sessions, based on DMM therapy principles and the following tools:
- Danger scale
- Maslow's hierarchy
- Zone of proximal development
- Family systems representations
- Five levels of family functioning
- Parental argumentation scale
- Intervention gradient
- Information processing model for parent interventions
Resilience
Understand the concept of resilience and of improving biopsychosocial functioning through the DMM lens.
