• Working with chair dialogues (2-Chair dialogues: Focus Detached Protector)

• Imagery (Visualizing Caring Parental Modes)

• Illustration of the basic approach to case conceptualization

• Conceptualization and treatment planning for their own cases

• Working on the "Inner House"

• Mode-oriented play therapy

• Special problems in therapy

Video and picture material, life demonstrations, and/or role-play in groups of two or three participants ensure the consolidation and deepening of what has been learnt.
