| CONTENTS |
The course intends give an advanced specialisation in newer psychotherapy methods for individuals who already work with own treatment responsibility. The course covers techniques and intervention models in the two treatment forms of interpersonal psychotherapy and brief relational therapy. The student should, on completion of the education, be able to carry out psychotherapy according to the methods that are prescribed in the two specialisations. The course gives the own experiences as a psychotherapist central importance, as it constitutes the basis for the development of the new technologies that are taught in the course.
Particular focus is on:
- practical application of techniques and intervention models in interpersonal psychotherapy and brief relational therapy,
- the therapy relation between psychotherapist and client, with background in empirical research, students' own experiences and theory,
- psychotherapeutic work with clients that have problems of more complex nature. Particularly focus will be on reflections on the therapist's own importance for the therapy process
- comparisons between these treatment modes and other brief psychotherapy modes.
- development of qualified skills in the two methods,
- the importance of knowledge from psychotherapy research and the question of evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatment. |
