The New Center for Psychoanalysis and TFP New York present a two-day training in Transference-Focused Psychotherapy
Going Deeper Into Transference-Focused Psychotherapy:
Details of the Diagnostic and Contracting Processes and Their Crucial Role Throughout the Therapy
This live, online-only, interactive two-day program with Master TFP Clinician Frank Yeomans, MD. PhD, offers a refresher of basic TFP techniques and a sharp focus on the diagnostic phase of treatment with implementation of the TFP Contract, including the methodology, reasoning, and evidence that support contracting with difficult patients suffering from personality disorders.
Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) is a manualized, evidence-based psychoanalytic therapy for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) that has recently been adapted for patients with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and pathological narcissism (PN).
TFP is based on a contemporary object relations model of psychological functioning that incorporates findings from attachment and neurocognitive research. The treatment focuses on internalized representations of self and other that organize the patient’s interpersonal experience.
