Interpretive Dynamic Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (IDTAP) is a 3-person approach to psychotheraputic treatment, focusing on transference and countertransference work. It combines Berne’s foundations in conceptualising transactional analysis (TA) with the contemoproary psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches.

It includes modern perspectives on transference and countertransference and integrates the latest research findings into the theory and practice. Transference and countertransference work is at the core of IDTAP—both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. In terms of treatment, IDTAP is focused on structural integration and enhanced level of personality functioning.

The talk will consist of placing IDTAP in the context of Eric Berne’s TA roots and also in terms of modern psychotherapeutic approaches. It will consist of the theory part, which will include some examples. There may also be an opportunity for integrating the theory with clinical practice through discussion of the participants’ clinical work.

Content:

• Conceptualisation of interpretive dynamic transactional analysis (IDTAP) through Berne's TA foundations.
• Recent research findings on transference interpretations and their use in IDTAP.
• Introduction of the dynamic ego state model.
