Training the Trainers: Research in Anthroposophic Psychotherapy and International Community Building

IFAPA 2023 bi-annual Train the Trainers Research Conference

The primary aim of the conference will:

(1) continue to build the worldwide anthroposophic psychotherapy community, (2) enable participants to improve their clinical practice using anthroposophic-Goethean research, (3) develop research-based teaching in anthroposophic psychotherapy.

Guest-speakers: there will be one lecture on research methodology by Professor Erik Baars on Zoom, comparing anthroposophical approach to mainstream views and one lecture on training the trainers by Dr Diethard Taushel who will also be attending in-person. Diethard will also assist in the judgment formation on factual emerging pathogenesis. There will be three IFAPA speakers. John Lees will speak about case work research, Ad Dekkers will contribute on the outcomes of specific anthroposophical interventions, Henriette Dekkers will contribute to deepening anamnesis and diagnosis and the impact of the night on the inspiration towards healing. These lectures and introductions will introduce you to the work that has already been done by anthroposophic therapists regarding evaluation of the efficacy and effectiveness of anthroposophic therapies and into the principles of training the trainers. All of participants are undertaking research in your clinical practice and, as such, you are all practitioner researchers. The conference will prepare the ground for becoming a research- based trainer.
