Paul Grantham, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Founder and Director of SDS Seminars Ltd says:

"I’d been wanting to train with Tony Attwood for years. I’d read so many of his books as well as recommending them. The experience of training with him was no disappointment. Apart from his phenomenal knowledge, his manner as a clinician was breath taking. I knew I had to try and persuade him to come to the UK and train for SDS. The fact that he not only agreed to, but was willing to do so, so quickly, makes this event one of the highlights of my career."
