ISTDP Core Training is educational initiative of two independed mental health providers: ISTDP Silesia in Katowice (Elżbieta Brodowska-psychologist, psychotherapist) and JaKto Therapy Center in Poznań (Renata Komorowska-Pietrzykowska- M.D. psychiatrist). We are creating it as ISTDP supervisors in order to share our knowledge and experience with other therapists working in this approach, as well as with all those interested in expanding their professional competence in the area of understanding psychopathology and the art of ISTDP psychotherapy.
Our teachers were Josette Ten Have – de Labije, Robert Neborsky, Kees Cornelissen, Allan Abbas, Jon Fredericson, Ferrucio Ossimo. Such an extensive and diverse team of distinguished lecturers, in addition to the opportunity to draw knowledge and experience from each of them.
We would like to invite to the ISTDP Core Training starting this year. During the three-year training there will be an opportunity to learn directly from us and also from our master – Josette ten Have de Labije, who will be a guest supervisor of one meeting each year.
Training conventions will be held in Katowice, Poznan and Berlin.
