Spreading the word

Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a form of brief psychotherapy. Using ISTDP, we’re able to view psychological disorders through the lens of attachment (the emotional effect of long-term interpersonal relationships, like between a parent and child, or between spouses) and the emotional effects of broken attachments.

People can recover from the trauma triggered by broken attachments, but it all starts with awareness. That’s why we’ve made education a big part of what we do. Our offerings, which are designed for health professionals, include courses, seminars and small group video supervision.

Courses

If you’re a registered health professional interested in learning more about ISTDP and the people who benefit from it, consider one of our fall or winter semester courses.
