Core Training in ISTDP with Susan Hajkowski & Stephen Buller, UK

22 May 2018 By IEDTA Website

We are pleased to offer a three year Core-Training in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). The training is delivered in Derby, a central location in the UK, which is well-served with excellent transport links.

We aim to provide a comprehensive training programme and a collegiate learning environment where rigorous clinical and theoretical learning can take place. The training is built upon an extensive theoretical and technical syllabus. Important training elements are integrated into the programme, including the use of routine outcome measures for outcome monitored treatment, and video-based assessments of practice. We value collaboration in training and invite other highly specialist ISTDP trainers to periodically take part in training delivery to encourage a range of learning and provide critical comparison in theory and technique.

The programme is IEDTA certified and progress is being made to achieve UK based professional certification.

Susan and Stephen, lead trainers, hold core professional qualifications in mental health, psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy and have extensive knowledge, training and experience in applications of ISTDP to a wide range of patient populations and clinical contexts. Alongside this Susan and Stephen are committed researchers and undertake clinical research both in the process and outcome of treatment.
