Habib Davanloo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Habib Davanloo (October 10, 1927 – before April 2024) was a Canadian psychoanalyst and psychiatric researcher who worked in Montreal, Quebec, and developed Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy(ISTDP). He was Professor of Psychiatry (now Emeritus) at McGill University[1][2] and founding editor of the International Journal of Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy.[3]

Background

[edit]

Habib Davanloo was a Canadian psychiatric researcher of Iranian origin. Davanloo was a psychiatric resident under Erich Lindemann, a German psychiatrist who specialized in the treatment of bereaved and traumatized patients.[4] On April 18, 2024, it was announced that Davanloo had died at the age of 96.[5]

Career

[edit]

Davanloo was the director of the Institute for Teaching and Research in Short-term and Dynamic Psychotherapy at the Montreal General Hospital.[6] In 1962 he began to develop his technique for treating patients on a short-term basis,[7] creating and studying videotapes of sessions. He later gave seminars about his research and made the videotapes available.[8][9]

Davanloo's methods, which according to some authors were based on resolving Oedipal conflicts,[10] were widely discussed in psychiatric literature and[11] successfully used by many other therapists.[12][13]
