Weiterbildung in TFP/Übertragungsfokussierte Psychotherapie der Borderlinestörungen
Auf den jahrzehntelangen Arbeiten Otto Kernbergs zur Borderline-Persönlichkeits-Organisation fußend steht mit der TFP eine mittlerweile weltweit verbreitete störungsspezifische psychodynamische Behandlungsmethode zur Verfügung, deren Wirksamkeit wissenschaftlich gut fundiert ist. Seit 1999 ist die TFP als Behandlungsmanual publiziert. In mehreren wissenschaftlichen Begleitstudien konnte die Wirksamkeit eindrucksvoll belegt werden.
Seit 2004 organisiert die ÖGATAP Weiterbildungscurricula in TFP.
