Core Training in ISTDP with ISTDP-UK

23 December 2016 By IEDTA Website

ISTDP-UK was originally formed in 2006 in order to offer Core Training to appropriate candidates. Since then four groups have completed their training and currently we have 3 Core Groups running; one in its first year in London, one in its second year in London and one in its final year in Oxford. We will be starting a new group late 2017 in London.

ISTDP-UK training focuses on the work of Josette ten Have-de Labije and Robert J. Neborsky with particular emphasis on attachment.

We recognise that training in ISTDP can be daunting and challenging and that in order for trainees to reach their potential they need a safe and supportive environment. Working in a small group (maximum of 8 people) allows for close bonds to develop which can sustain colleagues throughout their training and beyond.
