With this online seminar, Jonathan Entis and Mikkel Reher-Langberg wish to offer colleagues considering to join their upcoming training group on the “management of resistance in ISTDP” a taste of their teaching style and their take on ISTDP.

The seminar will begin with a brief introduction to some of the central ideas that will be developed in the aforementioned training, such as:

  • The four pillars of the resistance and Alliance
  • Systematic clarification versus observational clarification
  • Extended use of the HOC
  • Harnessing the force of the resistance against itself 

Following this introduction, a case will be presented from Jonathan Entis’ practice. During the presentation, the two teachers will discuss the progression of the session in light of the theoretical points made earlier.

At the end of the seminar, there will be time for questions from the audience.
