About the European Association for Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
OLI Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a contemporary, psychoanalytically grounded integrative modality with a pronounced developmental focus. It retains the fundamental psychoanalytic tenets — the motivated nature of behaviour, the role of the unconscious, the developmental perspective, the dynamics of defences, and the central importance of transference and countertransference — but adds to them a systematic, operationalised framework for developing mature emotional capacities (Jovanović, 2013; 2025). OLI IPP therefore does not abandon the psychoanalytic heritage but extends it toward explicit, teachable work on the functional capacities of the personality.
