Dina Mousteri practiced psychotherapy under supervision from 1979 to
1982 in the context of her employment at the Cyprus Mental Health
Services in addition to her work as clinical psychologist. In 1982 she
started her training in family therapy and began working with
individuals, families and couples.
She has contributed in the development of a training model of
self-education in systemic family therapy for mental health
professionals which consisted, mainly, of a series of intensive seminars
in Systemic Psychotherapy, conducted by different visiting trainers,
some of them being of international reputation.
During the years 80’s and 90’s she studied systemic psychotherapy with
the Milan School of Family Therapy, and received scholarships for Short
Term Intensive Courses in Brief Systemic Psychotherapy and Supervision
in London, USA and Toulouse.
One of her most significant contributions in the development of Systemic
Psychotherapy was the organization of a two – year part time training
course for mental health professionals run by the Tavistock Clinic in
collaboration with the Cyprus Mental Health Services between 1994 and
1998 in which she participated as course coordinator, local tutor and as
member of the advanced study and peer supervision group.
She became increasingly involved in teaching, supervision and
systemic-level consultation to professionals and professional groups and
students, especially after her appointment, in 2006, as Scientific
Coordinator of the Individual and Family Psychotherapy Centre.
She has given a great number of lectures and presentations and conducted
workshops in local and International Conferences on topics related to
systemic approach.
From April 2010 to December 2011 she set up a training course for
professionals within the Mental Health Services on the topic of Brief
Dialogical Psychotherapy based on a training model which she developed
herself.
She is founding member and President, since 2007, of the Cyprus Society
of Family Therapy, the National Organization member of the European
