Welcome to the European Website for
IS-TDP is the international abbreviation for Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, which was developed by Prof. Habib DAVANLOO, M. D., McGill University of Montreal, Canada, based on empirical research. The intuitive clinical and theoretical observations of all form of psychoanalysis - Freudian, Jungian, or Neo-Freudian - all have serious major inherent problems in the model of the unconscious mental processes and there approaches to treatment.
Dr. Davanloo's discoveries and his technique of rapid and direct access to the pathogenic organisation of the unconscious and bringing fluidity in the character structure has totally revised the whole psychology of the unconscious mind based on empirical evidence, not theory or intuition. Dr. Davanloo's discovery and scientific research have led to a comprehensive technique, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy.
