Content of the Four-Year Training Program in Genuine Psychotherapy

During the first year of training, participants are systematically introduced to the foundational theoretical and methodological principles of Genuine Psychotherapy. All subsequent modules are conceptually anchored in this integrative framework. The curriculum includes core psychodynamic constructs, defense mechanisms, transference and countertransference phenomena, object relations theory, contemporary cognitive science and its psychotherapeutic applications, as well as behavioral psychotherapy with an emphasis on the design, implementation, and evaluation of behavioral experiments.

In the second year, the program advances into clinical hypnosis and hypnotherapy within an evidence-informed framework. Trainees undertake structured study in psychiatry, psychopathology, and psychopharmacology, ensuring diagnostic literacy and interdisciplinary competence. The clinical focus expands to body-oriented hypnotherapy, alongside formal training in Ericksonian clinical hypnotherapy. Particular attention is devoted to the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, integrating hypnotic interventions within a broader biopsychosocial model.

The third year is dedicated to integrative and existential dimensions of psychotherapy, approached through critically examined meaning-oriented and existential models rather than doctrinal or belief-based systems. The emphasis lies in identifying clinically relevant processes related to meaning-making, identity, self-transcendence, and value integration, and operationalizing them within structured psychotherapeutic interventions. The curriculum includes body-oriented bioenergetics, structured work with memory imprints, continued development of diagnostic and treatment competencies across nosological categories, and the pragmatic integration of meditation regulatory practices within mindful based psychotherapy. Additional areas of study include psychosomatic processes and an introduction to the integrative psychotherapy model as a meta-theoretical integrative framework.

In the fourth year, trainees further consolidate their clinical competencies in working with a broad spectrum of diagnostic entities, including personality disorders, substance and behavioral addictions. The curriculum incorporates Nonviolent Communication and Internal Family Systems, both systematically integrated within the theoretical architecture of Genuine Psychotherapy. Participants are also introduced to the Genuine Generational Psychotherapy, conceptualized in dialogue with contemporary systemic, epigenetic, and intergenerational transmission research. Structured clinical simulations are conducted to ensure applied integration of knowledge and skills.

Each module includes a three-hour experiential group process, designed to facilitate self-reflexivity, personal therapeutic work, and embodied integration of theoretical material. The training program consistently alternates between theoretical instruction and supervised clinical practice, with a strong emphasis on experiential learning and transformational processing. Two annual residential workshops provide immersive, process-oriented training in an intensive format. Participants complete substantial written assignments, undertake supervised clinical internships, engage in mandatory personal therapy hours and individual supervision, and attend monthly group supervision sessions to ensure ongoing professional development and ethical accountability.

Structural Principles and Foundations of Genuine Psychotherapy
(2 modules)

The training modules “Structural Principles and Foundations of Genuine Psychotherapy” provides a systematic introduction to the epistemological, methodological, and ethical architecture of the model.

The program begins with an examination of professional motivation in the selection of psychotherapy as a vocation, analyzed through developmental, psychodynamic, and ethical lenses. Particular emphasis is placed on reflective self-assessment of conscious and unconscious motivational determinants, professional identity formation, and long-term sustainability in clinical practice.

Core personal and professional competencies of the Genuine Psychotherapist are delineated, including affective attunement, reflective capacity, ethical responsibility, and integrative clinical reasoning. Empathy is conceptualized not merely as an interpersonal disposition, but as a multidimensional construct involving cognitive perspective-taking, affective resonance, and regulatory differentiation.

Love, Wisdom, and Truth are presented as central organizing principles within Genuine Psychotherapy, operationalized beyond philosophical abstraction into developmentally staged, process-oriented, and pragmatically applicable clinical methodologies. These principles are examined in relation to evolutionary phases of psychological maturation, therapeutic movement across levels of organization, and the translation of values into structured interventions.

The dialectical and didactic approaches within Genuine Psychotherapy are analyzed as complementary methodological vectors. The dialectical dimension emphasizes the integration of polarities, intrapsychic conflicts, and systemic dynamics, while the didactic dimension addresses direct experiential process.

Integrative perspective is articulated through a biopsychosocial and trans-contextual framework, integrating individual, relational, cultural, and existential dimensions. The creative process is examined as both a therapeutic mechanism and a developmental outcome, with distinctions drawn between normativity, talent, and exceptional creative functioning from a clinical-developmental standpoint.

The concept of self-actualizing tendency is explored in dialogue with humanistic and contemporary developmental psychology. Characteristics of the self-actualizing individual are operationalized in terms of autonomy, responsibility, value integration, and adaptive complexity.

Aesthetics and ethics are treated as interrelated dimensions of therapeutic practice. Aesthetics is framed as sensitivity to coherence, harmony, and symbolic depth within the therapeutic process, while ethics is grounded in professional standards, responsibility, and relational accountability.

The “Mandala of Human Needs and Meaning” (Parts I and II) is presented as an integrative conceptual model mapping motivational, relational, existential, and social dimensions of human functioning. It serves as a heuristic framework for case conceptualization and treatment planning.

A qualitative methodological orientation is emphasized, including phenomenological sensitivity, contextual analysis, and process-oriented assessment. The relationship between psychotherapy and psychopharmacology is examined within an interdisciplinary framework, focusing on indications, limitations, and collaborative care models.

Empirically supported predictors of successful psychotherapy are reviewed, including therapeutic alliance, client readiness, expectancy effects, therapist factors, and treatment adherence.

The target population of Genuine Psychotherapy is defined in accordance with clinical indications, scope of competence, and ethical boundaries.

The modules conclude with structured training in the primary clinical interview. Emphasis is placed on assessment of presenting concerns, psychological resources, personality organization, defensive structures, and underlying psychodynamic patterns through systematically formulated exploratory questions.

Psychodynamics: Developmental Phases and Character Structures

This module provides a comprehensive exploration of psychodynamic development across the lifespan, integrating developmental psychology, trauma theory, characterology, and contemporary clinical models.

Subsequent developmental stages from middle childhood through adolescence, including the critical period between 13 and 21 years of age, are analyzed with attention to individuation processes, identity consolidation, peer dynamics, cognitive maturation, and the restructuring of internal object relations.

Adulthood, from early adulthood onward through the later stages of the life cycle, is conceptualized in terms of evolving relational patterns, existential tasks, role transitions, generativity, and integration of life narrative.

Character taxonomy is presented through a comparative framework incorporating schema therapy, body-oriented psychotherapy, classical psychoanalysis, and analytical psychology. Structural levels of personality organization and degrees of psychological integration are examined alongside gradations of consciousness, including perspectives from depth-oriented and integrative psychology.

“Mandala of the Human Being II” is introduced as an integrative mapping model linking developmental, structural, relational, and existential dimensions of personality, human needs and meaning.

Core psychodynamic processes are systematically addressed, including intrapsychic conflict, defensive organization, cognitive distortions, and transference dynamics. Cognitive distortions are analyzed in terms of logical fallacies, information-processing biases, maladaptive schemas, and systematic errors in meaning construction.

Psychological defense mechanisms are examined developmentally and structurally, with attention to their adaptive and maladaptive functions.

Transference and countertransference processes are explored in depth, including positive and negative transference, therapist countertransference responses and the clinical function of transference containment within the therapeutic frame.

The depth dimension of psychoanalysis is critically evaluated, distinguishing between mythologized interpretations and empirically grounded clinical reality.

The dialectic between love and ego is addressed as a central dynamic within personality organization and relational functioning.

Key milestones of analytical psychology are reviewed, including archetypal processes, individuation, and symbolic integration.

An overview of the body oriented psychotherapy models is provided, situating it within broader psychodynamic and somatic frameworks.

Character structures and defensive “masks” are analyzed in terms of typological configurations and dynamic combinations.

Hypnotherapeutic and mindfulness-based interventions are presented as adjunctive regulatory and metacognitive tools, enhancing decentering and reducing compulsive engagement.

Character structures and underlying psychodynamics are examined, including guilt-based superego dynamics, control defenses, and anxiety-binding rituals. The role of psychoanalytic insight is critically evaluated within multimodal treatment usually at the later stages of psychotherapy.

Key clinical questions are addressed, including the phenomenology of intrusive thoughts, differentiation between OCD, psychosis, and antisocial pathology, and reassurance regarding fears of “going insane.”

Therapist qualities necessary for effective OCD treatment include consistency, boundary clarity, emotional neutrality, and capacity to tolerate client distress without reinforcement of compulsions.

Applied practice and protocol implementation are emphasized.

Genuine Psychotherapy in Social Anxiety Disorder

This module presents a comprehensive model for transforming social anxiety into functional social competence.

A clinical overview of social anxiety disorder includes cognitive distortions related to self-evaluation, perceived scrutiny, and shame vulnerability. Treatment planning incorporates graduated exposure, assertiveness training, and cognitive restructuring.

Hypnotherapeutic interventions address performance anxiety, anticipatory rumination, and self-image restructuring. Cognitive-behavioral therapy provides structured steps including behavioral experiments, belief modification, and social skill rehearsal.

Progression pathways range from individual therapy to group formats and intensive workshops. Exposure hierarchies are constructed systematically, emphasizing measurable outcomes.

Mindfulness-based strategies reduce self-focused attention and enhance present-centered awareness. Clinical considerations include calibrated social disclosure, relapse prevention, and long-term confidence consolidation.

Concrete, empirically aligned algorithms are presented and practiced.


Genuine Psychotherapy in Health Anxiety and Conversion/ Somatoform Disorder

Health anxiety is examined in relation to character structures characterized by heightened somatic vigilance, catastrophic misinterpretation, and unresolved dependency conflicts. Hypochondriasis is conceptualized as a defensive mechanism externalizing intrapsychic anxiety into bodily focus.

Treatment algorithms integrate cognitive restructuring, exposure to health-related uncertainty, psychodramatic enactment, body-oriented processing, solution-focused and paradoxical interventions, and hypnotic techniques targeting somatic amplification.

Mindfulness-based and existentially informed approaches address mortality awareness and anxiety tolerance.

Conversion disorder is conceptualized psychodynamically as symbolic expression of conflict and inhibited affect. The transition from inhibited desire to permitted self-expression is facilitated through cognitive-behavioral restructuring, embodied awareness, creative expression, and graded behavioral activation.

The role of transference processes is emphasized, particularly in relation to dependency, authority, and unconscious enactments. Therapist qualities include emotional containment, attunement, and capacity for structured empathetic confrontation when required.

Applied training includes experiential components.

Genuine Psychotherapy in Addictions
Module Leaders: Orlin Baev and Kalin Petkov

Addiction is conceptualized within a biopsychosocial and trauma-informed framework. Distinctions are drawn between natural needs, healthy desires, surrogate compensatory needs, and maladaptive addictive drives.

Unresolved trauma is examined as a source of dysregulated affect and unmet attachment needs, leading to compulsive substitution behaviors. Cognitive analysis addresses automatic thoughts, core beliefs, and expectancy patterns sustaining addiction.

Characterological and developmental factors are assessed to identify unmet needs masked by addictive behaviors. Hypnotic and body-oriented techniques are used to facilitate integration between conscious intention and implicit emotional memory networks.

Dialectical work targets ambivalence and self-sabotage, while didactic interventions clarify the trajectory of addictive cycles and relapse risk.

Containment strategies focus on impulse regulation, reconnection with authentic needs, trauma processing, and development of alternative reward systems.

A systemic model incorporates peer communities, social reintegration, vocational stabilization, and creative engagement as protective factors.

Embodied regulation supports maintenance of abstinence and strengthening of self-efficacy. The therapeutic goal extends beyond symptom cessation toward structural integration, relational maturity, and sustained adaptive functioning.

Genuine Psychotherapy in Personality Disorders (Characteropathies) and Psychotic Disorders in Remission
Module Leaders: Orlin Baev, Petar Kralev

This module sequence addresses personality disorders and psychotic-spectrum conditions in remission through an integrative framework combining psychodynamic theory, cognitive science, attachment research, affect regulation models, and contemporary psychiatric understanding.

Borderline Personality Disorder

The structural organization of borderline personality disorder is examined in terms of identity diffusion, affective instability, chronic emptiness, fear of abandonment, splitting dynamics, projective identification, and impaired object constancy. Core mechanisms include dysregulated attachment systems, trauma-related hyperarousal, and deficits in mentalization.

Clinical practice focuses on stabilization, affect tolerance, impulse regulation, and the development of reflective function. Dialectical behavioral therapy integration of polarized self- and object-representations is emphasized. Structured containment, boundary clarity, and consistency of therapeutic stance are treated as primary stabilizing variables.

Interventions incorporate transference-focused techniques, dialectical behavioral strategies, schema restructuring, and mindfulness-based regulation.

Personality Disorders (Characteropathies)

Each personality disorder is examined with respect to its developmental antecedents, attachment patterns, defensive configurations, cognitive schemas, and relational scripts. Narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, schizoid, and antisocial organizations are analyzed in terms of object relationship’s position, underlying self-structure, superego formation, and interpersonal regulation strategies.

Therapeutic practice emphasizes structural integration rather than symptom suppression. Interventions include cognitive restructuring, behavioral pattern modification, relational corrective experience, and long-term character reorganization.

Clinical Specificities

The principle “less is more” is discussed in relation to pacing, interpretive restraint, and avoidance of overstimulation in structurally fragile patients. Work with personality disorders and psychosis in remission requires calibrated intensity, structured framing, and close collaboration with psychiatric care when indicated.

The therapist’s behavioral stance is conceptualized as a stabilizing regulatory function. Character stability, emotional neutrality, and capacity for transference containment are treated as core competencies.

Transference-oriented Genuine Psychotherapy emphasizes systematic analysis of relational enactments within the therapeutic dyad. Dialectical processes facilitate integration of contradictory internal states.

The expected duration of therapy is examined in relation to structural depth, comorbidity, and treatment adherence.

Supervised applied practice is integrated throughout.

Group Psychotherapy
Guest Lecturer: Tinka Miteva

This module examines group psychotherapy through psychodynamic, interpersonal, and body-oriented perspectives. Core mechanisms include mirroring, projection, corrective relational experience, and activation of social identity structures via group dynamics.

Group cohesion, resistance patterns, subgroup formation, and affect contagion are analyzed. The group is conceptualized as a living relational field in which individual character structures become visible and modifiable.

Couples and Family Psychotherapy
Guest Lecturer: Andrey Filipov

Couple dynamics are examined through attachment theory, systemic theory, and meaning-centered frameworks, with particular emphasis on circular causality and relational feedback loops. Conflict is conceptualized not as a linear cause–effect sequence, but as a self-reinforcing interactional pattern maintained through reciprocal regulation attempts.

Circular thinking is introduced as a clinical lens through which partners’ behaviors are understood as mutually co-constructed. Demand–withdraw cycles, escalation loops, and complementary rigidities are analyzed as systemic equilibria rather than individual deficits.

The couple is conceptualized as a relational system composed of interacting subsystems, including the partner dyad, parental subsystem where applicable, extended family influences, and external sociocultural contexts. Boundary permeability, hierarchy, and subsystem differentiation are examined as predictors of relational stability.

Triangulation processes are analyzed in depth, including involvement of children, extended family members, or external relational figures as regulatory buffers for unresolved dyadic tension. The identification of vulnerable nodes or “weak links” within the relational system allows targeted intervention at structurally sensitive points rather than diffuse confrontation.

Communication is approached as both informational exchange and relational regulation. Metacommunication, implicit contracts, double binds, and incongruent signaling are assessed. Complementarity patterns are examined, particularly overfunctioning–underfunctioning dynamics, pursuer–distancer polarities, dominance–submission configurations, and emotional–cognitive asymmetries.

Interventions aim to restructure dysfunctional feedback loops, increase differentiation of self within the relational field, and transform rigid complementarities into flexible reciprocity. Techniques include reframing, enactment restructuring, boundary clarification, triangulation dismantling, and systemic rebalancing of hierarchy and responsibility.

Meaning-centered dialogue addresses shared narrative reconstruction, value alignment, and future-oriented relational planning. Restoration of trust is conceptualized as a gradual recalibration of predictability, transparency, and affective safety within the relational system.

Clinical practice emphasizes the therapist’s systemic neutrality, avoidance of coalition formation, and capacity to maintain multi-directional empathy while preserving structural clarity.

Psychosomatics
Module Leader: Zhivko Stoilov

Psychosomatic and somatopsychic processes are examined bidirectionally. Neuroendocrine pathways, inflammatory mechanisms, stress physiology, and embodied emotional memory are reviewed.

The integration of cognitive, emotional, and somatic data is emphasized in assessment and intervention planning.

Genuine Generational Psychotherapy (EGAPI)
Module Leaders: Orlin Baev, Malina Atanasova

This module explores intergenerational transmission of trauma, attachment patterns, belief systems, and implicit relational scripts. Epigenetic research, family systems theory, and collective memory models are integrated.

The therapeutic aim is restructuring of inherited schemas and restoration of adaptive systemic positioning.

Body-Oriented Bioenergetics (after Reich, Lowen, Pierrakos, Levine…)
Module Leaders: Vladimir Pozharashki, Martin Cholakov

Character armor is examined as chronic muscular and postural patterns reflecting defensive organization. Somatic release, grounding, breath expansion, and affect discharge are analyzed in neurophysiological terms.

Body-based interventions are integrated with cognitive and relational processing.

Nonviolent Communication
Module Leader: Ines Raycheva

Communication is examined as a cognitive-affective regulatory process. Distinctions between observation, evaluation, need identification, feeling and request formulation are operationalized.

Empathic listening and boundary articulation are trained as relational competencies.

Internal Family Systems
Module Leader: Ines Raycheva

The psyche is conceptualized as a multiplicity of subpersonalities organized around protective and vulnerable parts. Integration involves differentiation of Self-leadership, unburdening of extreme roles, and restoration of internal coherence.

Eating Disorders
Module Leader: Detelina Stamenova

Eating disorders are analyzed in terms of affect regulation, body image distortion, control dynamics, trauma history, and sociocultural factors. Treatment integrates cognitive restructuring, behavioral normalization, body awareness, hypnotherapy, through the body psychotherapeutic work and family involvement when indicated.

Clinical Simulations
Module Leader: Orlin Baev

Structured simulations are embedded across modules to develop diagnostic reasoning, case formulation skills, relational attunement, and technical competence. Simulations emphasize evidence-based intervention sequencing, ethical decision-making, and therapist self-regulation.

Monthly Supervision Groups

Monthly supervision groups constitute a mandatory and structurally embedded component of the training program, designed to ensure clinical accountability, reflective integration, and continuous professional development. In addition to group supervision, individual supervision is also required as a mandatory component of the training process.

These groups function as structured peer-supervision and senior-supervision formats in which participants present ongoing clinical cases for systematic review. Emphasis is placed on case formulation accuracy, diagnostic clarity, intervention sequencing, and ethical considerations.

Supervision incorporates multiple analytic lenses, including psychodynamic process analysis, cognitive-behavioral maintenance cycles, systemic feedback loops, transference–countertransference dynamics, and embodied affect regulation patterns. Particular attention is given to therapist subjectivity, blind spots, emotional reactivity, and parallel process phenomena.

The group format facilitates collective reflective functioning, enhances meta-cognitive awareness, and supports the development of professional identity. It also serves as a regulatory container, reducing burnout risk and strengthening resilience through shared clinical processing.

Supervision sessions include live case discussion, structured role simulations when appropriate, intervention rehearsal, and feedback grounded in evidence-based standards and the theoretical framework of Genuine Psychotherapy.

The monthly continuity of supervision ensures longitudinal tracking of clinical progress, treatment adherence, and therapist growth, reinforcing ethical practice and safeguarding client welfare.
