.... dynamic short-term psychotherapy clarified and explained by a prominent and lucid practitioner of Experiential Dynamic Therapy. We are happy to welcome again Robert Neborsky, M.D.

in:

Synergies and Divergences between Attachment Based ISTDP and Cognitive Behavior Therapy in the treatment of personality disorders and psychoneurotic disorders

A one day audio-visual* seminar on Experiential Dynamic Therapy

*(with fully subtitled video vignettes)

Contrary to common beliefs AB/ISTDP has a significant area of overlap with CBT as well as distinct differences. This seminar will highlight theoretical components of these two evidence based approaches and attempt to show why affective experiencing is crucial to lasting change. On the other hand, the seminar will emphasize the systematic use of confrontation, identification and clarification as essential components of successful ISTDP, beyond the traditional techniques of pressure, challenge, and head-on collision. Dr. Robert J Neborsky will show the treatment of two contrasting cases—one with severe borderline pathology and primitive somatization and the second case of somatization as a regressive defense against a long standing oedipal conflict. Case two is remarkably similar to Freud's famous Dora case in which he developed his theory of hysteria. Both cases will illustrate how cognitive intervention leads to deepened capacity to illicit core emotion and to accelerate the process of psychic healing.

 

participation fee:  €220

 

Goals of the workshop:

1.Identifying ego syntonic defenses

2.Using cognitive intervention to make ego syntonic defenses ego dystonic

3 Identifying and undoing projection through cognitive intervention and insight

4.Working in the triangles of conflict and persons

5.Using visualization of action tendencies to enhance working through

6.Resolving severe self pathology through changing the cognitive schema leading to the ability to tolerate complex feelings toward attachment figures
