In Summer 2015, Dr Ross Crowther-Green and Dr Mark J Stein will lead a UK-based Core Training Group in ISTDP. Dr Crowther-Green and Dr Stein have completed core trainings in ISTDP, have assisted with two international core training groups, and are International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association certified teachers and supervisors. They have presented at conferences in the UK, have published in the area, and regularly provide training placements and/or supervision to both national and international colleagues. They will be offering training that reflects the teachings and approach to ISTDP taught by Dr Josette ten Have-de Labije.

There will be four 2-day training blocks per year, for three years. The training blocks will be held in or close to Birmingham. The programme will include didactic theoretical teaching, video presentation and discussion of clinical work of the supervisors, supervision of the clinical work of Core Training Group members, and role-plays. As is the norm in Core Training in ISTDP, Core Training Group members are expected to present video recordings of their clinical work for supervision within the group, providing each member of the group the opportunity to learn from each other’s practice and supervision. The size of the training group will be capped at a maximum of 8 colleagues.

The didactic component, and presentations of the supervisors, will cover the topics and theoretical content outlined in the International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association requirements for certification of an ISTDP training programme, and we will adhere to the criteria for all ISTDP Core Training Groups.

Fee: £1800 per year

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so book now to register a place on the Core Training for 2015.
