About Education
The psychotherapy of children and adolescents is significantly different from the psychotherapy of adults, especially regarding the role of the therapist, the relationship and cooperation with the parents, since the acceptance of the therapy depends on the cooperation with the parents.
The integrative psychotherapy program of children and adolescents is based on a developmental approach to children and young people, incorporating a humanistic and integrative approach (Gestalt, TA, PA), Self psychology, intrasubjective and relationship theories.
The educational program lasts for 4 years, and upon completion of education and examination, candidates receive a European Certificate of Child and Adolescent Integrative Psychotherapist.
For whom is it intended?
Psychotherapists, psychologists, defectologists, social pedagogues, physicians, social workers and pedagogues may be involved in education.
If the student does not meet the above requirements for enrollment in the education, but has completed undergraduate and graduate university study or integrated undergraduate and graduate university study in another area, he must have completed the study of propedeutics of psychotherapy.
