Programs in other languages

The Neufeld Institute has twelve programs representing eighteen languages. All programs are unique, each one evolving from the specific leadership of the program as well as the culture and language being served. The objective is to offer Neufeld Institute courses that have been masterfully interpreted and/or to support these courses in the native language as well as the cultural context that applies. The language directors have been personally selected by Dr. Neufeld to serve in this role. Most language directors have completed a two-year internship of personal study with Dr. Neufeld and received a faculty appointment with the Neufeld Institute. All language directors have mastered his articulation of the attachment-based developmental approach and have been designated as the authorized voice and agent of Dr. Neufeld and the Neufeld Institute in their language(s).
