Training and Research in Intersubjective Self Psychology

TRISP is dedicated to providing training based on the theories of Intersubjective Self Psychology

The Training and Research in Self Psychology Foundation (TRISP) was founded in 1987 as the first Self Psychological training institute in the country. Its tradition of intellectual vitality in an empathic and supportive setting is built upon a theoretical foundation that comprises Self Psychology, Intersubjectivity theory, and Relational Theory. TRISP offers educational opportunities designed to address the interests of beginning students as well as advanced and senior clinicians. We offer continuing education programs and sponsor events throughout the year that focus on Self Psychology, Intersubjectivity, and psychoanalytic theory and practice. TRISP is an institutional member of IAPSP, the International Association of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology.

We invite you to join us for our November workshop. Presenter Koichi Togashi and Discussant Peter Zimmermann lead "Contingency, a Sense of Surprise, and Trauma".

How can we help patients who live amidst the inevitable contingencies and necessities that create the human world and human tragedies? Through a case vignette of a traumatized female patient, I attempt to explore how the therapist’s recognition of being a player-witness – the recognition that I could have been my patient – can help both the therapist and patient to share the transience of the world and hope for the future.
