IBP Certified Practitioners

Resources and Opportunities:

Graduate Class

The Graduate Class is open to all qualified IBP Training Program graduates, and meets on alternate weekends from the regular training program. The Graduate Class covers advanced issues in psychotherapeutic treatment, and is tailored to address the specific practice challenges facing the individual IBP Practitioners that make up each class.

IBP Teacher Training Program

IBP Certified Practitioners interested in becoming an IBP Certified Teacher can apply to become Teaching Assistants (TA). A TA assists regular IBP faculty members in teaching a particular IBP training class, from the first year through graduation at the end of the third year. IBP Certified Teachers are also eligible to function as IBP Certified Training Therapists, with whom IBP students must complete their 100 hours of individual IBP therapy.
