Nordic Institute for Psychotherapy Research and Training

NIPRT combines psychotherapy research, training, and clinical work. We train psychotherapists with an integrative approach that combines the psychoanalytic tradition, cognitive-analytic psychotherapy, and the dialogical approach.

We believe good psychotherapy training emerges from genuine encounter and shared learning. Our trainers are experienced clinicians, researchers, and teachers who work internationally.
