Working with the client's highest capacity in ISTDP

Welcome to this 2-day workshop (videotape case presentation included) with Julie Cochrane and Johannes Ermagan on ISTDP and the Graded Format.

In the first day, Julie Cochrane will be showing how to work with patients in repression, where patients avoid mixed feelings by turning anger inwards and suffer symptoms such as depression, weepiness, and somatisation. We will see how to work at the patient's threshold to restructure the regressive defenses and build capacity to experience mixed feelings without undue anxiety. This day - Saturday - will start at 7h00 am (WEST) and end at 3h00 pm (WEST).

In the second day, Johannes Ermagan will be showing the work done with fragile patients, where patients use splitting and projection as primary system of resistance. He will highlight the importance of grading the interventions to work just below or around the threshold of anxiety tolerance. This is important so that patients don’t suffer from severe anxiety in the therapy and to create an understanding of the links between feelings, anxiety and defenses and how they create the presenting symptoms. This day - Sunday - will start at 9h00 am (WEST) and end at 5h00 pm (WEST).

Julie Cochrane is a Clinical Psychologist who has trained extensively in ISTDP, introducing it to Australia, and has taught and supervised therapists in Australia and internationally. She is the Director of Dynamic Psychotherapy in Melbourne Australia which has 26 therapists fully trained, or in training, in ISTDP.

Johannes Ermagan is a clinical psychologist from Sweden working in a psychiatric outpatient setting where the majority of patients are on the fragile spectrum. Johannes has many years of experience of practicing ISTDP all in the psychiatric environment and is teaching and supervising ISTDP in Sweden and internationally.
