The core seminars cover the theoretical basis and application of four main modalities in psychotherapy:
· Individual Psychodynamic
· Structured (incl CBT),
· Family and couples therapy and
· group therapy.
Seminars also help trainees develop a more sophisticated understanding of psychological and developmental processes in their general psychiatry work, as well as covering assessment and referral, research into psychotherapy, the connections with neuroscience, psychotherapy combined with other treatments and psychotherapeutic approaches applied to the wider world such as disasters, refugees etc.
Core program seminars are run in a group setting and they are clinically based so that participants are encouraged to bring their clinical work for discussion.
