D-ISTDP

ISTDP interventions are specifically designed to restructure the pathogenic core and subsequent self-sabotaging patterns of behavior... ISTDP Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy is a unique form of psychodynamic treatment facilitating the rapid resolution of a wide range of emotional disorders. ISTDP was conceived and developed in the 1960s by Habib Davanloo MD, Professor emeritus of psychiatry at McGill University, for purposes of scientific research at Montreal General Hospital and McGill University... ISTDP was developed to remedy the length of treatments of the psyche. From the beginning, the sessions were audio-visually recorded thus allowing little room for the therapist's interpretation. The audio-visual recordings allow peer review and analysis; as importantly, they enable the therapist to witness where she or he encounters unconscious difficulties with the patient.
