ISTDP-International: a platform

ISTDP International: the platform for ISTDP Professionals

Because of the existing variations in which ISTDP is administered in various countries and regions some teachers/supervisors and therapists from the Netherlands and abroad had the idea to start this ISTDP-International.com website.
