Amid the 1980s and 90s Michael Alpert of the NJ/NY STDP Institute sorted out Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (STDP) meetings in New York and New Jersey. These gave a chance to clinicians who had concentrated on the Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) of Habib Davanloo to show their work and take part in animating level headed discussion and exchange in a climate of openness and collegiality. These clinicians had taken the intense methods of ISTDP and adjusted them in new and one of a kind ways. One outgrowth of these gatherings was continuous email exchange of EDT-related themes. A casual email talk rundown was started in spring of 1998; on January 1, 1999 Michael Alpert and Allen Kalpin began the STDP Email Discussion List. Allen and Michael requested that six others turn into a casual board for the listserv.
