This three-hour online workshop introduces Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) to the Hungarian clinician community using video recordings of actual therapy sessions.

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an accelerated model of dynamic psychotherapy, comprising a set of powerful interventions to alleviate symptoms of emotional distress and to promote mental health in a rapid and cost-effective way. The focus is on the unconscious emotional processes that underlie many psychological as well as somatic difficulties.

Topics

• History and development of ISTDP
• Evidence base for ISTDP
• Working with core emotions related to attachment trauma
• Unconscious anxiety pathways
• Identifying maladaptive defences that interfere with therapeutic progress

Clinical case material on video will be shown to illustrate processes.
