We are pleased to offer a three-year IEDTA certified Core Training in ISTDP
(Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) in Warsaw, Poland. Our training
facility is located in the heart of Warsaw, excellent location next to the old town and
metro station. This Core group training is created for Polish participants, course will
be led in Polish language with translation when needed.
Based on our in-depth experience in medical science, psychotherapy and
international certification workshops we designed a comprehensive training
programme where we combine theory with experiential approach. Our goal is not
only to fulfill all IEDTA requirements with competency training, but also to deliver
experience of immersion in learning culture. We encourage our training participants
to meet in between sessions, to support each other, to use translated materials into
Polish language, to use outcome measures and to work with each of their patients as
in a n=1 study. We also value collaboration across other EDT modalities in training
and we invite other highly specialist ISTDP/EDT trainers from other countries as well
as our Polish colleagues to periodically take part in training delivery and assistance to
encourage a range of learning and provide critical comparison in theory and
technique.
The group of 3 years duration is formed each year and is meeting four times per year
for 2- or 3-day blocks depending on the group size. Each block is taught by the
certified IEDTA supervisor or/and by an IEDTA certified guest supervisor. The
training will be three years long, fulfilling IEDTA criteria and certified by the
