Cape Cod Training Program

(Hybrid Program)

Develop Presence, Insight, and Skills for High-Impact Interventions with the Cape Cod Model

Cape Cod
Training Program

Develop Presence, Insight, and Skills for High-Impact Interventions with the Cape Cod Model

The Cape Cod Training Program (CCTP) offers the opportunity to change the way you see human behavior, human connections and human potential in the workplace and in everyday life.


The program has provided a distinctive learning opportunity for consultants, couples- and family-therapists, coaches and leaders from around the world since 1980. In structured and highly interactive sessions, participants learn how to become effective agents for change using the Cape Cod Model© .


CCTP teaches a specific process of intervening for the highest possible impact for individuals, dyads and small groups/work-teams. The program is structured so that content and theory presentations are followed by intensive small group practice sessions in which the foundational principles are applied. Because of our small faculty-participant ratio, this program provides an unusually high level of individual attention, with each participant receiving daily feedback from our seasoned faculty.


The "first week" of the program (live-online) focuses on working with dyads and includes: perceiving the system as a whole instead of as separate individuals; exploring the role of the intervener; examining countertransference and boundaries; and understanding and connecting intimate and strategic ways of relating.


The "second week" (in-person in Boston, Massachusetts) will focus on working with small groups. Topics include: working effectively within a hierarchical system; introduction of the similarities between working with families and working with teams or other small groups; and learning how to help small groups become more effective and successful.


Whether you work with individuals, dyads, families, groups or work-teams, the Cape Cod Training program will enrich your capacity to intervene with impact.

Practicing what we teach


We help you to develop your own unique way of using the model. Through decades of teaching and practicing the Cape Cod Model, the program faculty is attentive to each participant and responsive to their particular needs and learning edge during the course of the program.


The most impactful tool you have as an intervener is you. Learning about yourself and how you see the world will expand your range of choices and enable you to become a more competent practitioner by becoming the fullest version of yourself.


We believe that when it's safe to be yourself, you become open to possibilities. We create the space to help you grow, to gain competence, and to see competencies in all systems. We teach you how to move toward and embrace differences, affirm others, and make interventions that have genuine impact, increasing your ability to bring about profound change in individuals and organizations.

“The Gestalt International Study Center and its faculty have a unique, elegant and wonderfully simple way of working with individuals, groups and organizations. Participants experience the approach and get it in their bones. Unlike a typical training or lecture, this allows therapists, business and community leaders or consultants the means of sharing it directly with the systems they work in to achieve powerful impact. The tranquil setting of outer Cape Cod offers the luxury of a change in environment and the opportunity for reflection, which deepen the learning experience.”

Mark Hollern, Organization Development Consultant, Covance, Inc.
“The Cape Cod Training Program was immensely helpful for me, both personally and professionally. In my work as a psychotherapist, CCTP provided me a way to really ‘see’ my clients in the relationships and systems that they are a part of. This knowledge has improved my effectiveness in my work with couples. On a personal level, CCTP helped me to gain insight into my own dynamics within a system. The largely experiential teaching methods allow for the information to be absorbed in a very meaningful way. I recommend CCTP to any clinician looking for a new form of personal and professional growth.”

Erika Hellwig, Psychotherapist
