Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a unique form of psychodynamic treatment that facilitates the rapid resolution of a broad spectrum of emotional disorders. It is an evidence-based psychotherapy that is strongly supported by current clinical research studies. ISTDP interventions are specifically designed to resolve anxiety, depression, somatization and personality disorders, as well as alleviate a variety of self-defeating behaviors, many of which derive from unstable or troubled early life attachments. Read more about ISTDP here. The mission of the Northern California Society for Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy is to promote the training and practice of ISTDP in Northern California. The Society hosts trainings, workshops and consultation groups for the advancement of ISTDP.

Contact Dr. Kay at (310) 474-3020 or at DrRobKay@verizon.net or contact Ms Warshow at (818) 703-1145 or at swarshow@me.com This choice of one or two-dav program will offer participants an opportunity to observe and absorb deep affective work with patients. Both instructors specialize in ISTDP: an affect-focused, accelerated psychotherapy that helps patients access and process intense and complex emotions and break the intergenerational cycle of abuse (of self and others). Both have studied with world-renowned practitioners of this therapy. Day 1: The program will begin with a brief overview of attachment theory and ISTDP principles. Next, theoretical and technical information will be presented on the therapeutic repair of psycho-trauma which involves helping patients access and process deep and conflictual emotion. Each presenter will provide video demonstration of intensive therapy with patients who have been victimized by traumatized caregivers, i.e., parents who were abused, neglected, and/or psychologically damaged. Day 2, the presenters will again show videotaped session excerpts and will stop the tapes to allow for questions, interactive discussion and greater integration of the therapeutic process. Questions will be encouraged to better understand how to choose and when to apply effective interventions to deepen affect and accelerate therapy. Experiential skillbuilding exercises will enhance the learning process. We will also focus on understanding and managing our own human feelings and reactions while helping our patients explore their painful abuse accompanied by intense, conflictual and complex feelings.

Time: 9am - 12pm Location: 944 Market St, Third Floor, San Francisco Price: $75 ($25 student / pre-licensure rate)
3 Continuing Education credits will be provided to psychologists, MFTs and LCSWs for attendance* This presentation will feature the videotaped initial session with a resistant and fragile patient who was unsuccessful in fourteen previous therapies. You will learn how to assess and address anxiety in the fragile patient. You will learn how to deactivate projections that can derail the therapy or lead to misalliance. The presentation will also illustrate how to mobilize the patient’s will to engage in the therapeutic task in such a way that the transference resistance can be deactivated in session. The presentation will study the session on a line by line basis so that you will learn how to assess the patient moment by moment and to target your interventions specifically to the issue active in each moment. Only by accurately understanding the rapidly shifting issues moment by moment can the therapist help him form a therapeutic alliance. The presentation will illustrate how to attune to the fragile patient on a microscopic level in order to offer much better anxiety and affect regulation for the patient. The conscious therapeutic alliance usually does not exist in these patients at the beginning of therapy. It must be co-created by the therapist and patient. The presenter will illustrate the sequence of steps used in ISTDP to develop a conscious therapeutic alliance. If the therapist tries to explore issues before certain steps of the alliance have been established, the patient will become anxious, begin to project, and a misalliance will result. As the case will illustrate, careful attention to moment to moment assessment of the alliance can make the difference between failure and success.
