INITIATION TO CONTEMPORARY GESTALT THERAPY

2023-02-11T19:09:27Z

In partnership with the Pierre Janet Centre of the University of Lorraine.

By proposing a model of change based on the use of the therapist's resonances within the therapeutic relationship, contemporary Gestalt therapy opens up a new paradigm. It is at the forefront of putting the therapist's person at the service of patients' change processes. It is thus in line with the most recent results of psychotherapy research which show that the person of the therapist is the most relevant variable in the effectiveness of a therapy.

Alternating theory and practice, this training (from level 1) will introduce the trainee to the understanding of contemporary Gestalt therapy and begin to use elements of it in their clinic.
With level 2 she will be able to engage in the in-depth training offered by IDeT and its modules “At the heart of the clinic”.

The level 1 module does not require any pre-requisites to be attended.
Entry to the level 2 module requires the completion of level 1.

ALLIANCE - FLYER

Key factor in the success of a therapy

Best predictor of success

FACE TO FACE training! - Workshop abroad on request

The therapeutic alliance is in fact a question that arises in a singular way with each of our patients. It is also a transversal notion that concerns all therapeutic modalities.
Our seminar is based on a certain number of essential and common elements stemming from research in psychotherapy. These elements will be illustrated by clinical vignettes and experiential work.

Structure of the module
2 times 2 days OR 3 consecutive days / to be adjusted

Who is this training for?
This training is addressed to all therapists and students with a clinic for whom the relationship is central: Gestalt therapists and all humanist, existential and relational clinicians or students.

Aims

Getting concrete guidelines for your first sessions
Becoming aware of the three dimensions of the alliance
Detect and repair alliance ruptures
Use the main results of the research

Pedagogical means

Theoretical-clinical and experiential training in small groups
Clinical work based on real cases brought by the participants
Video illustrations
Learning through experience and observation (supervised practicums, didactic sequences, video), role playing and times of sharing

Our modules are built around taking into account the specific needs and resources of the participants, which encourages their self-training. They offer a safe environment, in a small group, rich in resources

Trainers
Vincent Béja and Florence Belasco - Founders of IDeT - over 20 years experience

ALLIANCE - FLYER

Florence and Vincent develop a unique perspective on the processes of change in psychotherapy.
Through their writings, their training institute and their commitment to research in humanistic psychotherapy within the international Gestalt community, they develop a relational vision of therapy that places the therapist's affective resonances at the heart of the change process.
Attestation
A training certificate may be issued at the end of this module. It will allow you to validate a number of training units that meet the criteria of the various professional organisations (EAP, EAGT...).

The therapist's resonance

2021-11-22T12:56:53Z

TO EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO INTERVENE

FACE TO FACE training! - Workshop abroad on request

Body, emotional and affective resonances are the central material of therapeutic intervention from a relational and field perspective.
This training, which is central to the IDeT clinical perspective, will enable you to use more clearly and effectively what you experience in session with your patients

We are always affected by our patient just as they are constantly affected by us. In this complex system of resonances, the therapist can often feel helpless, arrested, even abused. We will offer participants a method and guideposts for attuning their experience to that of the patient in a way that is opening and growth-inducing.

The impact of the therapist that I am

2021-11-22T12:48:48Z

“What do I use when I use myself?” “What therapist am I?”

FACE TO FACE training

With this training you will better understand your personal dynamics as a therapist, its effects on the therapeutic encounter and will soften and enrich your ways of reacting to the diversity of your patients.

This module explores the effects of participants' motivation to be therapists, their personal histories, life experiences, the attachment patterns that characterize them and, ultimately, the impact they can have on others and therefore on their patients.

We will accompany the participants in the practical application and handling of these aspects in the therapeutic encounter.

Structure of the module
4 days: 2 times 2 days separated by an integration time or 3 consecutive days

Objectives of the module

To measure the role of personal wounds and problematic experiences in the deployment of the participant's empathy towards their patients (strengths and weaknesses)
To understand the participant's own mode of attachment and to measure its impact on the dynamics of the psychotherapies he/she conducts
To become more aware of the projections that the participant can mobilise with his patients
To better understand how the respective dynamics of the patient and the therapist are articulated
To open his palette of interventions

What Heals in Psychotherapy?

To Better Understanding What Heals and What we Take Care Of...

FACE TO FACE training! - Workshop abroad on request

WHAT HEALS - FLYER

With each of our patients we look for what is healing and how to support the path to change. But we are often lost as to what the therapeutic work is all about. This seminar offers the therapist clear guidelines. Based on current research in psychotherapy, we will propose an integrative model of change, operational for gestalt therapists and taking into account the singularity of the therapeutic encounter. These contributions will be illustrated by clinical vignettes and proposals for experiential work.

Structure of the module
2 times 2 days OR 3 consecutive days / to be adjusted

Objectives of the module

Take another look at relational suffering
Use new concepts from research
Develop a clear vision of the therapeutic path
Discover the 3 key steps of the intervention

Pedagogical means
