About the event
Pre-Core Training is intended to introduce and immerse trainees in the fundamental principles of ISTDP psychology. ISTDP Pre-Core trainings are held with a space of total non-judgment/acceptance that new learning invokes anxiety!
We will laugh and support one another through experiential skill-building exercises that are designed to synthesize the concepts learned during the lecture components of the training. Some of the main clinical concepts you will learn to put into practice include understanding and integrating:
· The Triangle of Conflict: Feelings, Anxiety, Defenses
· The Triangle of Persons: Past Attachment Figures, Current Attachment Figures, the Therapy Attachment Relationship
· Developing an Effective Therapeutic Focus during Inquiry of a New Treatment
· Identifying and working with anxiety and defenses in the face of efforts to establish a working therapeutic alliance
