We are happy to announce a great opportunity for those living and working in Europe.
In 2023 we will start a three-year Core Training in Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) in Europe. One of the Blocks is scheduled to be in Lisbon, Portugal.
The teachers for this training are Julie Cochrane and Johanness Ermagan. Also, Jon Frederickson will be a guest teacher for some late Blocks.
Two Blocks a year will be held in person in one of the European countries, and two Blocks are entirely online. However, if you wish to attend all four Blocks a year online, you are welcome to do so.
Get in touch
A three-year course provides training in the theory, technique and research of Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP); a method of treatment that is receiving increasing empirical support as both clinically effective across a wide spectrum of patients and as highly cost-effective. To be effective, very specific training in ISTDP is involved.
This three-year training program is designed for mental health professionals seeking expertise in the method of Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy
During this course, you will receive didactic lectures, watch the videotaped work of the trainers demonstrating the effective use of the technique with their own patients, participate in role plays to demonstrate the application of the technique, participate in skills-building exercises, show your own work for supervision and participate in the group process.
You will be taught how to use the principles of Deliberate Practice to review your own videos, between trainings and supervisions, to facilitate progress and are encouraged to spend a minimum of one hour per week reviewing your videos.
Readings and individual learning goals will be assigned for each block of training.
Eligibility Criteria
A currently registered mental health professional at all times during enrolment in the Core Training such as:
– Registered psychotherapist
– Psychiatrist
– MD
– MFT
– Clinical psychologist
The capacity to video record therapy sessions with at least three adult or older adolescent patients
Commitment
A three-year commitment is required for participation in this course. While your own psychotherapy is not a requirement, it is encouraged.
