    • OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM
      Students will learn how to identify Affect Pobias (i.e. psycho dynamic conflicts), how to use
      Malan’s triangle of conflict and triangle of person, how to
      differentiate between adaptive and maladaptive feelings, how to create a
      core conflict formulation in collaboration with the patient, and how to
      regulate anxiety and confront defenses. As these objectives are mastered
      more advanced elements of the model will be introduced (Further details
      of the learning objectives are provided in the ‘therapist developmental
      guidelines’ at the end of this document). Research is an integral part
      of this program and students are trained to use the Achievement of
      Therapeutic Objectives Scale (ATOS) in order to code their own therapy
      sessions and master therapist sessions. Students are required to
      videotape and present their own work for supervision.
