Dear
Colleagues
I am honored to invite you to attend two workshops
in Israel dealing with Schema Focused Therapy (SFT)
for Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorders.
Dr. Jeffrey Young, founder of SFT, will present
the workshops.
SFT is an innovative integrative approach for personality
disorders and treatment-resistant patients. SFT
integrates elements of cognitive therapy, behavior
therapy, object relations, and gestalt therapy into
one unified, systematic approach to treatment. Schema-Focused
Therapy has shown remarkable results in helping
people change patterns which they have lived with
for a long time, even when other methods and efforts
have been unsuccessful.
Participants attending the workshops will learn
to use a useful and effective therapy for dealing
with complex personality disorders; one that leads
to improved overall functioning of this difficult
population. These workshops will afford therapists
a unique opportunity to learn an Evidence Based
treatment for complex personality disorders from
a primary source.
Dr. Jeffrey Young is the founder and director of
the Cognitive Therapy Center of New York and the
Schema Therapy Institute. He has lectured on cognitive
and schema therapies internationally for over 20
years, has trained thousands of mental health professionals,
and is widely acclaimed for his outstanding teaching
skills.
The Israeli Association for Behaviour and Cognitive
Psychotherapies (ITA) is proud to welcome Dr. Young
and appreciates his wish to share his vast knowledge
and experience with all of us. We thank Dr. Young
very much for accepting our invitation.
I want to use this introduction to also express
our thanks to Prof. Mario Mikulincer and the Interdisciplinary
Center (IDC) in Herzliya for co-sponsoring this
important workshop. Since the number of places for
these workshops is limited I urge you to confirm
your participation as soon as possible.
We hope that you will also have a chance to absorb
the spirit of our country. Israel (like SFT) contains
many layers, with both ancient and innovative segments
interfusing its identity. We of course also suggest
that while you are here you enjoy exploring the
Land of Israel - from the Galilee to Eilat. Known
as the birthplace of three monotheistic religions,
Israel has always been a center of knowledge and
continuous learning.
We are all looking forward to exciting workshops.
SHALOM,
Dr. Sofi Marom, Chair
The Israeli Association for Behaviour and Cognitive
Psychotherapies (ITA) |
