International Institute of Short-Term Psychology
What is IISTP?
IISTP is an international registry dedicated to documenting and presenting brief and short-term psychological approaches worldwide.
The institute operates as a collaborative platform where institutions, professional bodies, and practitioners contribute information about structured brief methodologies active in their regions.
Rather than functioning as a licensing or regulatory authority, IISTP serves as a global reference point — offering visibility, structured documentation, and international connectivity within the field of brief psychology.
Through voluntary contribution and open participation, the registry supports a transparent and evolving overview of contemporary short-term practice.
We support the evolution of contemporary psychological practice — encouraging innovation, collaboration, and time-responsive therapeutic approaches for the modern world.
