This will be an introduction to Interpretive Dynamic Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (IDTAP), a 3-person approach to transference and countertransference work in clinical setting.
Interpretive Dynamic Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (IDTAP) focuses on transference and countertransference work. It combines Berne’s psychoanalytic roots in conceptualising transactional analysis (TA) with the contemporary psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches.
It includes modern perspectives on transference and countertransference and incorporates the latest research findings into the theory and practice. Transference and countertransference aspects are at the core of IDTAP—both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. IDTAP focuses on structural integration and enhanced level of personality functioning.
The talk will consist of placing IDTAP in the context of Eric Berne’s TA roots and the integration of modern psychodynamic and psychoanalitic psychotherapeutic approaches and research findings. It will consist of the theory part, which will include some examples. There may also be an opportunity for integrating the theory with practice through discussion of the participants’ clinical work.
Content:

Recent research findings on transference interpretations and their use in IDTAP.
