It begins in April 2025 and lasts 20 months.

Includes:

Initial Training Course on TFP 2025
Advanced Clinical Supervisions Course in TFP 2026.

It will be two transformative years of clinical practice, through which you will gain high-level clinical management of difficult patients, as well as become part of a community of therapists with whom you will be able to continue to work with on an ongoing basis.

Who is it aimed at?

Psychologists, psychiatrists, psychology and psychiatry students and professionals related to mental health who wish to learn and practice working with complex patients.

Description of training

This Specialization Course in Transference Focused Therapy will provide you with the necessary tools for the application of the technique in your clinical practice. You will be able to complement the theoretical learning of the first year, with the participation in supervision groups during the second year, so that you can apply the knowledge learned with your patients.

The innovative methodology and the hallmark of our institute, combines academic tutorials of bibliographic review, with expository classes of review and observation of micro process in real clinical cases. In them you can have an active participation and discuss difficult situations that occur in your practice, finding the answers and solutions to interventions minute by minute.
