Core Training in ISTDP with Dr Mark Stein

In 2018 Dr Stein will lead a China-based Core Training in ISTDP. Dr Stein has completed core training in ISTDP with Dr Josette ten Have-de Labije and Dr Kees Cornelissen, has assisted with international core training groups, and is an International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association (IEDTA) certified teacher and supervisor in ISTDP. Dr Stein has presented at conferences, led workshops, published in the field, and regularly has provided training placements and/or supervision to national and international colleagues. Dr Stein has been delivering an IEDTA certified Core Training in ISTDP in the UK, together with Dr Ross Crowther-Green, since 2015, and will be offering a core training in China that reflects the teachings, and approach to ISTDP taught by Dr ten Have-de Labije. The training and supervision will predominantly take place over four three-day blocks per year, for three years i.e., a combined total of 36 days, in order to meet IEDTA criteria for certification. Trainees are also encouraged to meet in small supervision groups in between training weekends in order to maximise their learning.

The training blocks will be held in ChongQing, China. 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 training will meet the IEDTA ISTDP certification criteria for ISTDP core group training.
