ONLINE COURSES
New class August 2020
ONLINE Family and Couples Therapy Training
August 2022
The pandemic experience, in addition to the great pain and challenges, gave us the opportunity to have months of very productive online classes and services, where we were able to develop our distance learning methodology, maintaining the level of quality and excellence of our courses.
Therefore, we present the Couple and Family Therapy Training Course, fundamentally in this modality, through the Zoom platform.
The course will last 3 years, theoretical and practical, with online services and supervision. With in-person meetings, Friday/Saturday every six months.
In August, we will have a new class, with classes on Thursdays, from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm. In-person meetings will be scheduled with the group's participation.
Community
Partnership with the Anchieta Grajaú Institute
Acompanhamento das equipes de trabalho da instituição e atendimentos de famílias em situação de vulnerabilidade social, trazendo uma vivência importante da complexidade que envolve questões de injustiça social e exclusão que permeiam o cotidiano dessas famílias.
Clínica Colaborativa
Services in Institutions
Sao Paulo Therapy Institute
Students who have already graduated, as a team, provide services that enrich regular classes, bringing an important contribution to theoretical-practical discussions and, in this way, all students follow the cases.
Partnership with the Faculty of Public Health of the University of São Paulo offers students, in addition to case management, contact and exchanges with another institution in the construction of collaborative dialogues with teams that work with other perspectives and paradigms.
Methodology
The classes will be theoretical and accompanied by practical experiences, with everyone participating in the exchange of experiences, dramatizations and discussion of films/videos.
​
Throughout the course, in parallel with the theoretical content developed, we will work with each student to understand how their history and lived experiences interfere in the perception of facts.
In this way, they will be able to develop a posture of self-questioning about what happens to them in their relationship with the “other”, and instrumentalize the resonances experienced in their professional practice.
​
Our goal is also to work on the group dynamics, developing a collaborative posture and the formation of bonds that favor the learning and acceptance of future professionals.
​
Each student must serve two families in co-therapy during the course with face-to-face supervision (television or two-way mirror). Before starting the services, each student will make their genogram with two ITFSP facilitators.
Criteria
Criteria for admission to the course: Interview and resume analysis. An undergraduate degree is required.
​
Criteria for completion of the course: Minimum attendance of 80% of classes and submission of a dissertation.
