Identity-oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT) is founded on the theories and practice developed by Professor Franz Ruppert of Munich University over the past 27 years.
The IoPT theory is based on a specific understanding of trauma and the psychological splitting as the means of surviving traumatic experiences. This particularly applies to the very early stages of life and the challenge to the child of surviving within the particular context in which he or she is conceived, gestated and born.
This course is an 'entry-level' course, which will be a pre-requisite for the year long Education Course led by Vivian Broughton.
Course Fee: £695
Cancellation Policy:
Up to 31st December 2018 50% refund is possible. After that there will be no refunds. If the course has to be cancelled you will receive a full refund.

About Franz Ruppert
Prof. Dr. Franz Ruppert is Professor of Psychology at the University of Applied Science in Munich, Germany. He gained his PhD in Work and Organisational Psychology at the Technical
University of Munich in 1985.
Since 1995 he has specialised in psycho-therapeutic work, with a particular focus on the aetiology of severe mental disorders. This led him to an in-depth study of attachment processes and trauma
and the resulting impact of early traumatisation on the infant.
Ruppert teaches in Germany and many other countries, furthering his insights into the deeper trans-generational effects of trauma in different cultures, and researching the methodology of
Identity Therapy as a means of better understanding the effects and healing of trauma.
