Transference-Focused Psychotherapy: Second-Year Consultation Course

Provided by TFP-UK and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

September 6, 2024 – July 2025

Cost : £1,200 per year. (A concessionary rate of £600 or £950 is available for those who are currently trainees and not in full-time employment.)

This course is designed for therapists who have completed the initial 63 hours of didactic instruction in Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), as mandated by the International Society of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for accreditation. It aims to enhance their comprehension in a second year of study. The majority of participants are likely to have begun treating patients using TFP.

The course will feature a weekly 90-minute seminar held on Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. UK time. Each seminar will encompass one or two presentations by trainees, alongside a biweekly discussion of a TFP theory or practice paper chosen for its pertinence to the cases under consideration. The instructors will supervise the cases and encourage input from all course participants.

Attendees will be encouraged to present summaries of sessions, including more detailed sections, along with a video of a session, provided they have obtained the patient’s written consent for the recording to be made and for it to be discussed with professional colleagues.

Additional optional seminars may be offered by distinguished international TFP supervisors/teachers, to which participants will be invited.

Those who attend at least 80% of the sessions will receive a certificate from the TFP-UK group and will be eligible to join the ISTFP.
