Overview
The Advanced Programme in Psychotherapy Integration course is an online CPD programme, running over three terms, to deepen the theoretical understanding and practice of integrative psychotherapy, with a focus on relational approaches.
Module 1 introduces the key concepts informing psychotherapy integration.
The course can be attended in to modalities:
- An online programme that includes weekly live lectures
- A facilitated, self-study, online programme that includes both live and pre-recorded lectures.
The key word is INTEGRATION which covers almost all developmental tasks. Integration carries the baby through to unit status, to the personal pronoun “I”, to the number one; this makes possible I AM, which makes sense of I DO.
– D. W. Winnicot
