Copenhagen’s Emotion Center is pleased to present our “masterclass” teaching series. In these courses, we offer advanced-level training by prominent clinicians, who have inspired us over the years – our “masters”. While our intention is to offer courses suited to stimulate clinicians with a firm grasp of the technique and metapsychology of ISTDP, we warmly welcome colleagues at all levels of proficiency.
*About the course*
We are thrilled to present the first semester of our ongoing masterclass with John H. Rathauser. The class will focus on review of video material from John Rathauser’s practice, and ongoing discussion of Rathauser’s style and technique with the participants. We intend the atmosphere of the class to be relaxed and conversational, striving to work through two video-recorded sessions in each gathering. Since the course presupposes a fundamental familiarity with the technique and metapsychology of ISTDP, the meetings will feature only minimal didactic presentation of background theory, keeping its main focus on the review of actual case material. The cases shown will span both of Davanloo’s psychodiagnostic spectra – psychoneurotic as well as fragile. This class offers a unique opportunity to become familiar with John Rathauser’s style of ISTDP, which we find to be powerful, clear, and with strong roots in Dr. Davanloo’s original style of ISTDP.
*About John Rathauser*
John Hans Rathauser, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist with over 35 years of clinical experience. Following completion of his doctorate in clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology – Los Angeles, his postdoctoral experiences began with a five-year period of training at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health in New York. In 1994 John Rathauser entered into training with Habib Davanloo, M.D. in Montreal, Canada, spending eight years in Dr. Davanloo’s Core Training Group. From 2002-2016 he continued to attend annual weeklong metapscyhology conferences, which Dr. Davanloo held in Montreal, Canada. John Rathauser’s private practice in Kendall Park, N.J. is largely devoted to the practice of Davanloo’s Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (IS-TDP), as well as providing training to mental health practitioners, which is additionally offered in Los Angeles based core training programs in IS-TDP. He has given numerous presentations on IS-TDP nationally and internationally, and is a supervisor for the International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association (IEDTA).
