Dr. Levy continues make an impact across the ocean in Japan and spread his expertise about attachment therapy where its needed.
He was in Japan May 13-15 to visit Meiji University, Tokyo for their Attachment and Trauma Conference for mental health and child welfare professionals, and for foster and adoptive parents form all over Japan.
Dr. Levy and Mr. Orlans have visited Japan every two years for the last decade to teach concepts and skills of treatment and parenting to mental health and child welfare professionals there. These visits are part of an exchange in which every summer a group from Japan studies at the Evergreen Psychotherapy Center.
Do you know of any places or people in Tokyo who have been trained in attachment therapy for adults?
Any information would be much appreciated.
