Psychodynamic and attachment therapy basics

This seminar will be particularly attractive to trainee psychologists, psychiatrists, assistant psychologists, counsellors and/or other mental health professionals. This seminar is also open for undergraduate students and/or members of the general public who wish to get a basic understanding of modern psychodynamic therapy practices. 

Psychodynamic therapy is one of the most researched psychotherapies and yet one of the most misunderstood ones. 

This seminar aims to:

• Establish a clear definition of what psychodynamic therapy is and what it isn't.
• Understand the basic skills and techniques of psychodynamic and attachment based treatments. 
• Examine how modern research in neuroscience and attachment informs contemporary psychodynamic therapy practice.
• Highlight how psychodynamic thinking can help improve clinical thinking and a robust understanding of mental health difficulties.
