What our students say

Some unique experiences

May it be a warm home for our students, where we all have a place. And may it be fertile and fruitful.

“The course is very practical. Thanks to the cases that the teachers share, I now see clearly how to act in front of the patient. I feel more confident facing challenges in the sessions and I handle complex cases with greater skill. Both I and my patients notice the difference, which translates into better therapeutic engagement and more effective results.”

“My training in TFP has been eye-opening about personality disorders. The supervision meetings are pure gold, showing the multiple interpretations of behaviors, especially in the transferential. Despite the years, I always find new and practical input for managing these challenging patients.”
