The first lecture will cover fundamentals: Main lessons from early pioneers, underground practitioners, experimental and clinical studies: History, rationale, theoretical underpinnings and empirical status on risks and benefits. This modality will be compared and contrasted to other therapeutic modalities.

The second lecture will cover hands-on aspects: Far too often, the therapeutic potential of MDMA-assisted therapy is not fully released: Who are good candidates and who should think twice. How to prepare for, navigate in and integrate the altered state in a way that maximizes benefit and minimize risks. 

The third lecture will bring us into the therapy room itself. How can MDMA-assisted therapy look like? Video from actual MDMA-assisted therapy sessions will be used. And a range of clinical phenomena will be illustrated. 

Taken together, you will get the evidence-based knowledge and skills you need to support your patients, bring back fruits to your own clinical practice and get a better sense of the potential benefits for yourself, your career and those you care about. 

This 3x3h series will be repeated in May/June.

MDMA-assisted therapy for mental health professionals: Introductory training

«Hvorfor spør du om det?» Å forene teknikk og psykodynamikk i ISTDP

https://eu01web.zoom.us/j/69324851970?pwd=UmYzdkhVNE9oRkhyUmN2RzFiY3Mxdz09

Høsten 2022 ledet Jon Anders Lied den største panelsamtalen på IEDTA konferansen i Venezia. Nå setter han tonen igjen,  med den første skandinavisk-språklige læreboken i sitt slag: En innføring i ISTDP. 

I dette lanseringsseminaret lærer du å få teknikk og psykodynamikk til å gå opp i en høyere enhet. Illustrert via opptak fra terapien med en person med helseangst. En dynamisk kasusformulering ligger til grunn for mer klassiske ISTDP-intervensjoner. 

Fulltidsstudenter får 70% avslag gjennom rabattkoden "STUDENTS". OBS: Vær sikker på at rabatten har gått gjennom før du trykker på betalingsknappen. 

Som ISTDP-terapeut har du tilgang på en rekke teknikker som kan være effektive og potente.  Samtidig har du kanskje erfart at når teori skal bli praksis, så er det slett ikke like enkelt alltid? 

Terrenget stemmer ikke alltid mer kartet, som endatil kan bli temmelig uklart - tidvis for både terapeut og pasient. Intervensjonene treffer ikke helt, du famler og terapien halter.

I dette seminaret vil kliniske fenomener illustreres gjennom videoopptak fra terapien til en person med helseangst. Jon Anders Lied viser oss hvordan man kan forhindre forvirring og oppnå bevisst enighet om mål og oppgaver gjennom en  grundig dynamisk kartlegging. 

De psykodynamiske fenomenene til grunn for helseangsten tydeliggjøres og teknikker kan mer målrettet anvendes for å bringe klienten i direkte kontakt med røttene til symptomene på overflaten.

Jon Anders Lied og hans seminar og lærebok minner oss på at ISTDP på sitt beste forener verdifullt tankegods fra ulike tradisjoner. 

Han målbærer de psykodynamiske grunnprinsippene i psyken på en sjeldent klar måte. Samtidig integreres effektive teknikker for eksponering og symptomresolusjon. 

Alt innenfor rammen av et optimistisk syn på det menneskelige potensialet for heling. 

Dette blir en fin læringsopplevelse for en bedre hverdag som terapeut. Jon Anders er trent av blant andre Patricia Coughlin og representerer en dyp og klar stemme på feltet. 

NB: Kurset er kun for helsepersonell og studenter underlagt taushetsplikt og avholdes på Norsk. Kurset avholdes online.

The first lecture will cover fundamentals: Main lessons from early pioneers, underground practitioners, experimental and clinical studies: History, rationale, theoretical underpinnings and empirical status on risks and benefits. What can we learn from MDMA-assisted therapy?

The second lecture will cover hands-on aspects: Far too often, the therapeutic potential of MDMA-assisted therapy is not fully released. We will demonstrate the most important differences between clinical use and informal therapeutic use and where the potential of deeper healing gets lost. Is MDMA the most underestimated therapeutic tool there is? Since it more easily than the other psychedelics can be used recreationally?

Moreover: Who are good candidates and who should think twice? How to prepare for, navigate in and integrate the altered state in a way that maximizes benefit and minimize risks?

The third lecture will bring us into the therapy room itself. How does MDMA-assisted therapy look like? Several videoclips from actual MDMA-assisted therapy sessions will be used. The presenters own therapy sessions will be shown and a range of clinical phenomena will be illustrated. Patterns that may be particularly true for helpers of all kind will be exposed and discussed. 

Watching tapes of deep inner process in another also has the potential to touch you deeply and maybe learn a thing or two about yourself.
