Dear ISTFP members,
The 7th ISTFP conference ended just over two months ago, and I am still reflecting on how stimulating it was, both intellectually and emotionally. Like me, those of you who attended were able to witness our strong sense of community that prevails despite the challenges to group cohesion wonderfully described during the conference by Miguel Angel Gonzalez Torres.
Our sense of community strengthens each of us in numerous ways, so it is important that we nurture this sense of community on an ongoing basis. One way to accomplish this is to enhance our ability to share different skills and resources.
To formalize this ability to share and communicate, the ISTFP’s Public Relations and Communications Committee is creating a complimentary service that will be provided to all TFP groups. We call this service “The ISTFP Mailing List Project”. This will be especially relevant to those of you who plan lectures, trainings, and other academic events.
Mathieu Norton-Poulin is a psychologist in private practice in Gatineau, Québec. He graduated from Laval University in 1995 and started his training in transference focused psychotherapy in 2005. Member of the TFP-Québec group he as been practicing has a certified TFP therapist for the last 9 years. Since 2009 he organized several training events and has given lectures on TFP for medical doctors and college students. He maintains a blog where he write, in plain words, articles to explain TFP to the general public.
Dear colleagues and ISTFP members,
The European Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ESSPD) is proud to announce the third ESSPD Summer School for early career researchers, organized in collaboration with the University of Lausanne, Depart- ment of Psychiatry, Institute of Psychotherapy and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service, with the financial support of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
The aim of the summer school is to increase the meth- odological competencies in conducting high quality de- velopmental psychopathology research in the domain of personality disorders. Topics include: developmental psy- chopathology (i.e., prediction of self-harm and suicide in adolescence), inclusion of family in research designs (i.e., mothers with personality disorders and their offspring), prospective long-term follow-up studies, psychotherapy, research designs (i.e., effectiveness, mediation, modera- tion), assessment of emotional processing, socio-cognitive processing and reflective functioning in adolescence.
We will adopt a theory-integrative, disorder-oriented and evidence-based approach. Throughout the one-week pro- gram, the focus will be on the plurality of methods, their productive use for specific research questions and their creative combinations in order to deepen the understand- ing of developmental pathways and the effects of pre- vention and intervention to personality disorders in youth.
Teaching methodologies include interactive presentations, workshop exercises on actual research material, plenary and small group discussions, individual work, speed-talk presentations, playfully structured question-and-answer sessions.
The summer school takes place in a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere at the picturesque retreat center Crêt-Bérard, calmly perching over Lac Léman in Switzerland, one of the largest lakes in Western Europe. Activities as part of a social program will be organized.
Sunday, August 27th 2023 (arrival day) – Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 (departure day); 5 full days residential).

Dear colleagues and ISTFP members,
We are happy to welcome you to the 7th ISTFP conference. We hope that this biennial “meeting of minds” will provide you with a memorable learning experience. Again this year, because of the COVID Pandemic, we cannot meet in person. We will not be able to, like in previous editions of the event, engage in meaningful human interactions. Since that important part of the event will be missing, let’s make the most of this, like we did two years ago, and look forward to seeing each other again in two years… for real.
I am Theophilus Kok and, like some of you, I was not there in the early ISTFP Conferences. That is why the Public Relations and Communication Committee and I thought it would be a good idea to tell you about the origin of the event. For those of you that have been here since the beginning, we thought that it would be important, after 3 difficult years, to remind ourselves where we come from and go forward with renewed energy and intent.
As you all know, personality disorders used to present severe treatment challenges in psychiatry, however, during the 1970s and 1980s along with the publishing of Borderline Conditions and Pathological Narcissism (1975), Severe Personality Disorders (1984), and the first treatment manual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy of Borderline Patients (1989), Otto. F. Kernberg and his team at the Personality Disorders Institute of Cornell University in New York have developed the Transference-Focused Psychotherapy.
Theophilus Kok is a psychiatrist and psychotherapist in private practice in Hangzhou, China. He graduated from Zhejiang University in 2006 and started his training in TFP in 2018. He is the founder and director of the Institute of Personality Studies and Development, and the leader of the Personality Disorders Working Group in Kangning Hospital affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University. His interest is to treat patients with personality disorders and as the coordinator of TFP training in China, he aims to introduce TFP to more local clinicians.
