Frequently Asked Questions

Do IPI and IPI SLC only provide Object Relations-oriented training and therapy?
IPI SLC, like IPI, is solidly grounded in an Object Relations approach. However, we strive to maintain a stance of openness and active interest in new developments in the field, and in integrating them into our existing paradigms. In this spirit, training offerings in the past have included numerous presenters who do not hail from an Object Relations background, but who have made important contributions to psychotherapy - whatever their orientation.
