The Nordic ISTDP conference is a biennial event that brings together ISTDP clinicians and researchers from across the Nordic region and the rest of the world. The conference provides a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments in ISTDP, network with other ISTDP professionals, and share your clinical experiences.
The theme of the 2025 conference is ‘The Next Generation of ISTDP’. This theme reflects the current developments as the third generation of ISTDP teachers are making their mark on ISTDP. The confirmed presenters at this point are Jonathan Entis, Deborah Pollack, Jeanne Isaksen and Mikkel Reher-Langberg.
This first iteration of the nordic conference will be held in Malmö on May 23-24. You can find more information here: https://www.istdpnordic.com/
För tredje terminen i rad kör vi ett samarbete med vår systerförening i Danmark (Dansk Selskab for ISTDP, www.istdp-danmark.dk) med syfte att anordna digitala kvällsföreläsningar om ISTDP. En uttalad ambition är att bjuda in presentatörer från Norden och andra delar av världen samt att visa på bredd i olika tillämpningar av ISTDP. Alla presentationer sker på engelska med undertexter på filmklippen. Föreläsningarna kommer ske via Zoom och ligger kvällstid kl 17.00-19.30
Höstens schema ser ut så här:
Johannes Kieding (September 7th): Working with Conscious Defiance and Character Transformation

Johannes Kieding: I trained with Marvin Skorman, LMHC, from 2012 to 2021. Marvin was one of Dr. Davanloo’s right-hand men in the late 1980s. I supervise faculty at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and I work intermittently with Arizona State University by supervising their master’s level social work interns. My clinical approach aims to be very collaborative and relational while still addressing resistance head-on. After being sanctioned to teach by Marvin in 2017, I have been supervising others in both individual and group format. I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Davanloo and seeing his work in 2012 and again in 2013. I have a special interest in making ISTDP more accessible to a wider swath of clinicians by emphasizing the flexibility of the model. My idea of a good time is to sit close to an ocean, hearing the clucking and crashing of waves while reading a good book.
