Intensive III: Becoming Attached unfolds and expands the six roots of attachment and puts the focus more on adults than in the first two levels. The course is also a journey through Dr. Neufeld’s earlier theoretical development which created the puzzle pieces that ultimately came together in the six roots of attachment. The Intensive III is designed not only to provide deeper theoretical understanding but also to give the opportunity for more personal integration of the material.

Prerequisites: Neufeld Intensive I: Making Sense of Kids and Neufeld Intensive II: The Separation Complex

Registration is now open!

This course is being offered in a Scheduled Class format with Genevieve Schreier on Mondays from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm Pacific Time. The course will start with an orientation session on October 27, 2025 and will run for 17 weeks (no class December 22nd and 29th, and February 16th). 

Course participants will view Dr. Neufeld’s pre-recorded lecture videos and come together weekly in a live Zoom class to discuss the material. While individuals can take this course at any time in Self-Paced Study format, this is a unique opportunity to gain further insight from Neufeld Institute faculty member Genevieve Schreier.

All of the classes are recorded. If you can’t fit a live class into your day-time schedule, you can keep pace by watching the recording at your convenience.
