Dynamic Interpersonal Training (DIT) Refresher

About this training

This one-day refresher training is for those who have completed either the original 5-day or 20-day Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) training and assumes a broad understanding of the DIT model.

While the day will not include role plays, it will feature clinical examples to bring the work to life and illustrate aspects of the model. Participants are encouraged to share their own clinical experiences, including goodbye letters and IPAFs they have found challenging.

Aims of this training

The refresher training aims to:

• refresh participants' understanding of the key concepts and clinical stages of the DIT model

• review teaching materials and videos, and introduce updated course content

• provide space to discuss participants’ own clinical experiences and challenges

• build on participants’ prior knowledge of the DIT model.

Who should attend?

This training is for qualified DIT practitioners who would like to refresh their skills. It is also suitable for those who have completed the 5-day or 20-day DIT training but have not gone on to supervised practice, not completed their case study, or not had formal supervision of their DIT work and have since stopped using it in their NHS Talking Therapies practice.

The DIT Refresher training is also suitable for those who are currently undergoing DIT practitioner training via the 5-Day or 20-Day training routes, but have been delayed in their progress and are in need a refresher.

The training builds on prior knowledge of the DIT model. It is a requirement for practitioners who have not started supervised DIT practice within six months of completing their training and need to refresh their knowledge of the model.

It is optional for anyone currently working within the DIT model who would like to revisit the core concepts.
