OVERVIEW

Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP): First-Year Course is organized by Maudsley Learning (ML) and will be held from Sep 05, 2025 - Jul 31, 2026.

Description

The course covers the TFP object relations model of personality pathology, the TFP principles and techniques. Case examples will be used throughout. Participants will be encouraged and helped to find supervisors towards the end of the first term, initially to discuss existing cases and then to start assessing a patient for TFP. Each course participant will need to arrange their own supervision.

Participants will need to fund their supervision unless it is provided by their organisation.TFP supervision is typically weekly or fortnightly in groups of three to four for 60 minutes, with an accredited TFP teacher-supervisor. Each supervisee needs to present at least monthly for accreditation purposes. One-to-one supervision is another common model.Upon completing the one-year course, participants will know the basics of TFP. This course will also benefit those who have attended previous TFP training and wish to consolidate their understanding of this sophisticated approach.Participants who attend 80% of the sessions can obtain a certificate from the TFP-UK group and will be eligible to join the International Society of TFP.

To become a certified TFP therapist, the ISTFP requires attending 63 hours of training with accredited teacher-supervisor/s. This course will provide sixty-five hours, including one or two additional seminars that may occur on different days or times. Guest speakers will be invited to cover specific subjects.
