IPI's training programs differ from most other continuing education offerings, both in their on-going nature and their emphasis on an interactive and dynamic use of material rather than on a purely didactic presentation. In 2005, IPI's two-year Object Relations Theory and Practice Program was evaluated for its effect on how participants subsequently conducted their therapeutic practice, as well as on themselves as individuals.
The study was recently published in Psychotherapy Theory, Research, Practice, Training.
An expanded unpublished version of the research report is now available to download below:

Written by David Scharff, M.D. and Michael Stadter, Ph.D. (with some future postings by other IPI members/faculty), Tuning the Therapeutic Instrument encourages discussion of the variety of ways we hone our skills as therapists.
