Resistance?
Negative therapeutic reaction?
How to recognize if a client’s wish to end therapy is, actually, acting out?
Why is it important to understand a client’s personality structure and level of functioning?
Those are some of the challenges we face as therapists. IDTAP gives answers to them.
Interpretive Dynamic Transactional Analysis Therapy (IDTAP)
enables you to understand not only the client’s history, trauma, script, but also what is happening in the client, moment to moment, during the session.

IDTAP
Interpretive Dynamic Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (IDTAP) is a unique approach to the use of TA in a clinical setting. It represents a 3-person psychotherapy approach, placing transference and countertransference at its forefront.
IDTAP is firmly grounded in some of Berne’s original theories and updated with contemporary psychoanalytic and psychodynamic methods, research, and evidence-based approach to transference and countertransference.
Using IDTAP in clinical setting allows the practitioner to track moment-to-moment interactions and use them to understand the various conscious and unconscious processes that are alive in a particular moment.
