Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a form of psychodynamic treatment that facilitates the rapid resolution of a broad spectrum of emotional disorders.

ISTDP interventions are specifically designed to resolve anxiety, depression, somatization and personality disorders, as well as alleviate a variety of self-defeating behaviors, many of which derive from unstable or troubled early life attachments.
