After 45 years of clinical work, teaching, and training, Dr. Patricia Coughlin is preparing to close her teaching practice at the end of 2025. As one of Davanloo’s original trainees, she has spent decades refining the practice of ISTDP and guiding therapists worldwide in using it with greater precision and impact.
In her final seminar on Scandinavian soil, Patricia takes us back to the essence of ISTDP, teaching us how to live the core principles that make this method so effective instead of getting lost in rigid formulations.
This seminar is about reclaiming clarity and effectiveness, using response to intervention rather than preconceived notions to facilitate rapid breakthroughs into the unconscious, where healing and transformation occur.
What You Will Learn
Through a combination of teaching, case presentations, and brand-new video material, Patricia will guide participants through the essential elements of a successful ISTDP process:
The four essential steps in the central dynamic sequence
How to use response to intervention to assess, rather than assume, the nature of the core conflicts responsible for suffering
How to work at the patient’s highest level of capacity, creating a strong conscious and unconscious alliance that overcomes resistance
The anatomy of a breakthrough, illustrated by two recent cases (4 and 6 sessions long) that demonstrate the process from inquiry to unlocking the unconscious
This is an opportunity to refine your skills, increase your effectiveness, and gain deeper confidence in your work—all while learning from one of the most experienced ISTDP teachers in the world.
A Special Gathering to Mark the Occasion
Beyond the learning experience, this seminar is also a moment of transition and celebration. As we say farewell to Patricia Coughlin as a teacher, we will also celebrate our own journey as therapists, our dedication to growth, and the privilege of doing this work.
After the seminar, we invite you to stay and celebrate with us at Salt, in the light summer night of Oslo. Expect good food (not included, but gourmet street food readily availbale), inspiring conversations, and a meaningful gathering to mark this unique occasion.
