This IEDTA certified core training in ISTDP aims to provide participants with a strong foundation in the clinical theory and techniques of this revolutionary method of psychotherapy.
In this program, key principles from Davanloo’s ISTDP are integrated with the attachment-based approach developed by Robert Neborsky, MD. AB-ISTDP incorporates insights from attachment theory and modern neuroscientific developments, and the therapeutic techniques are conceptualized as a pathway to help patients achieve secure attachment. This training will also incorporate influences drawn from experiential dynamic therapies, in particular IE-DP, the work of Ferruccio Osimo, MD.
The small group format focuses on creating a safe and stimulating environment for trainees
