Training Opportunities

There are a variety of training options available to licensed mental health professionals interested in mastering the theory and techniques of Intensive short term Dynamic Psychotherapy. Currently, Dr. Coughlin conducts training and supervision groups in New York, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Four to 10 participants can come together and form a core training group. Supervision can also be obtained individually. All supervised work must be videotaped. Those who live a distance from Albany have the option of sending tapes or DVDs of sessions to Dr. Coughlin so that supervision can take place via phone.

Contact Dr. Coughlin directly to discuss options.
Conferences and training workshops are available around the world.

“Training with Dr. Patricia Coughlin has been a life transforming experience. Her unswerving commitment to the learning process of each trainee creates an environment that is both safe and challening, allowing her students to reach deeply held goals for learning and personal growth.  In the often emotionally intense  process of ISTDP training, her steadfast and dedicated teaching and supervision anchors the learning process within a wealth of clinical experience and theoretical expertise.” ~ Tor Wennerberg, Clinical Psychologist and author
