Maury Joseph (US) den 7 februari “Enactment and counter-enactment with a compliant patient”
While ISTDP training gives us a unique capacity to follow the patient, serving their conscious and unconscious agenda, it can also load us up with an agenda of our own—we pick up ideas about how therapy should go, how therapists should work, and what therapeutic processes are best, necessary, or important. Compliant patients may subtly encourage us to present an agenda that they can yield to and please in order to avoid their own conflicts, especially those related to power or individuation. If we accidentally do take a leading role in these situations the therapy may become a repetition of their problematic interpersonal patterns rather than a challenge to those patterns. Many good things may happen in the therapy despite this enactment, but the compliant pattern will be reinforced, and the problematic interpersonal and symptomatic impacts of chronic people-pleasing will continue. For this reason, it can be important for therapists to develop the skills that help them to detect the patient’s strategies for enacting a compliant transference, and to have strategies that can support their own efforts to refuse the authoritarian role that a patient may subtly and not-so-subtly prompt them to take. Diagnosis of and intervention against this pattern will be the focus of this webinar.
Participants in this webinar will be supported to:
-observe both the implicit nonverbal and explicit verbal signs of transference in a compliant patient
-learn counter-enactive strategies to challenge the transference role the patient is proposing (e.g., pressure against implicit, subtle resistance; explicit challenge to resistance when it becomes explicit)
-learn more about the relational concept of “unconscious enactment” and “counter-enactment” by observing the process in a videorecorded initial session

Sandra Ringarp (SE) den 6 mars “The Art of Slowness in ISTDP”
With a big love for deep diving into the small things that makes a huge difference as we practice ISTDP, Sandra will focus on the art of slowness for this presentation. As Patricia Coughlin stated “go slow in the beginning so you can go faster in the end” – slowness can actually play a key role in the initial phase of ISTDP. While it may sound contraintuitive, the art of thorough, careful and slow inquiry in the beginning of a therapy actually lays the foundation for us to go “faster in the end”. Sandra will show the first 30 minutes of two trial therapy’s to illustrate what the art of slowness in ISTDP can look like, and how it can actually fasten up the work immensely.
About Sandra: Sandra Ringarp is a licensed psychologist and a certified ISTDP therapist and teacher/ supervisor. Sandra has worked with ISTDP since 2013 in a psychiatric clinic, a clinic for long term pain and now privately at the ISTDP clinic in Stockholm. After completing her core training in 2016, Sandra has continued to specialize in ISTDP through training and advanced supervision with Allan Abbass and Reiko Ikemoto-Joseph, among others. Sandra is chairman of the Swedish association for ISTDP. She is also the author of the book “Ångest för alla” at Natur & Kultur publishing house, soon to be published in Danish.

Dr. Neborsky’s professional activities, in addition to treating patients, include training students in the techniques of his unique Attachment-Based variety of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (IS-TDP), presenting at local, national and international symposia and seminars.

Historically, he founded and taught Core Group Trainings in San Diego, Los Angeles (with Dr Davanloo), San Francisco, Calgary, Canada; Aarhus, Denmark; and London, England.
His current research interests include examination of the interface between attachment theory, neuroscience, and psychotherapy. He is also exploring the application of ISTDP techniques to enhance recovery from traumatic brain injury and post concussive syndrome associated with post traumatic stress disorder. He is actively engaged in the application of new therapies for Treatment Resistant Depression. In addition, he is refining techniques of repairing chronic overuse of the parasympathetic nervous system as a defective anxiety regulatory mechanism.
Most recently, he was a keynote presenter at the Polish Society for Integration of Psychotherapy in Warsaw, Poland in June 5, 2022 where he demonstrated this work. Recently, he presented “The Theory and Practice of Attachment Based ISTDP” in a two-day seminar in Helsinki, Finland in June 2023.

On October 27, he along with the Faculty of ISTDP-UK hosted the David Malan Memorial Conference at the Royal Society of Medicine in London. Dr Malan’s contributions to the development of ISTDP cannot be overstated.
Josette ten Have-de Labije (NL) den 8 maj “The man who was stuck in a pecking order”
Many of our patients that enter the initial interview have lost hope and faith in their own capacities to fulfill their longings.The prerequisite for an effective conscious/unconscious working alliance is the therapist´s ability to helping the patient to have hope and faith again in his own capacities, to regain the joy of comprehending own processes, doing effort in grasping and understanding new concepts, new ways of looking at themselves and at the outside worldThe therapy vignettes ( parts of the first three sessions, each of 3 hour duration) you will witness will show consecutive steps toward establishing a conscious and unconscious working alliance with the patient, who had been referred because his therapy with another ISTDP colleague had been stuck. A few months before our initial interview the patient has had a medical investigation because of his longstanding intestinal problems. However no pathology was found and the patient ‘s Irritable Bowel syndrome was diagnosed as of psychosomatic origin.
