Inter-Analytic Couples Therapy: Book One - Search for the Other is now available Student Testimonial:
"I cannot imagine working with couples without the skills and information I gained through AACAST. It would be like trying to build a house without a hammer. I never feel like I don't know what to do in the sessions, and I see the difference my training makes with the couples who come in. Besides the training, the instructors are knowledgeable, caring, and smart. My highest recommendation if you work with, or want to work with, couples." Tony Davis, MFT
