About ISTDP - Hub
ISTDP-Hub is a global digital platform designed to connect ISTDP practitioners, organizations, and learners. Its goal is to build a global online ISTDP community, providing a space where public, ISTDP students & professionals can network, share content, promote events, and engage in discussions to advance the field. By offering direct communication tools, research access, and educational resources, ISTDP-Hub empowers public, students, therapists and organizations to collaborate, grow, and contribute to the field of ISTDP therapy.
ISTDP-Hub is envisioned as the supporting global hub with community – driven content. The mission is to make ISTDP more accessible, research-driven, and widely adopted, strengthening the global network of therapists and organizations. By fostering a dynamic, open and interactive space, ISTDP-Hub ensures that everyone can stay connected, informed, and actively engaged in elevating their ISTDP practice worldwide.
ISTDP-Hub is a project started by Kruno Cordas, a UK accredited Psychologist and Psychotherapist, trained and fully certified in ISTDP with previous expertise in IT, Web Design & Development.
While studying and practicing ISTDP I have noticed that ISTDP resources are scattered, mostly hosted on disappearing web platforms or services which does not enable a coherent and unified learning and informational experience for public, students, researchers and all other interested in learning this psychotherapy model. Furthermore, ISTDP content, web presence and user experience could be greatly improved through a modern portal with good UX design and carefully arranged content thus helping ISTDP practitioners and organizations to have an open platform to learn, connect, share, collaborate and elevate their ISTDP and Psychodynamic practice and learning.
At first, I had an idea to make a simple therapist directory but my old passion for IT and web development rekindled and fused perfectly with my long-lasting interest in psychology and psychotherapy which resulted in this simple idea becoming a much wider project.
ISTDP-Hub is envisioned as a dedicated digital platform developed to provide a structured, user-friendly access to essential and with time advanced ISTDP resources where practitioners and organizations can share, research, promote events, engage in discussions, and connect with peers.
The goal of this project is to make ISTDP content more accessible and organized, fostering a stronger, more connected global community that supports learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
I would like to invite whole ISTDP community to join this project so we can make it alive and thriving building a unique one stop portal for finding everything about ISTDP. Please support this work through subscription as it acts as a donation towards further development of the platform.
ISTDP-Hub is not an organization, but rather an independent digital platform designed to serve global ISTDP community as a hub for learning, sharing, collaboration, research and professional growth. As many organizations and individuals contribute to the advancement of ISTDP, this platform was created for all of them – to have an available, open and accessible environment to connect between each other and share their knowledge and expertise within ISTDP and psychodynamic fields of psychotherapy.
