Practical work — training in the program "Psychodynamic psychotherapy" includes supervision, group supervision, and regular long-term individual supervision.
Supervision —  study of one's practice under the guidance of an experienced clinician in order to develop the clinical skills of the supervised person and to deepen their awareness of the intrapsychic and interpersonal processes that take place during psychodynamic treatment
Group supervision — involves the presentation of clinical cases by the group members and their discussion with the supervisor. This allows students to gain experience in solving diagnostic problems and implementing therapeutic strategies.
Regular long-term individual supervision is carried out for an in-depth study of the psychotherapeutic impact and dynamics of the transfer-countertransference relationship
During the training, a long-term supervision of one clinical case should be carried out. Personal psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis, means that a future psychotherapist undergoes individual psychotherapy (or psychoanalysis) as a patient. This provides them with better self-knowledge as well as with the experience of individual development and working out personal issues.
The training ends up with writing an evaluation work which involves an evidence-based study of the psychotherapy conducted with the client.
Upon the training completion, a diploma of professional retraining is issued
