Career

Davanloo was the director of the Institute for Teaching and Research in Short-term and Dynamic Psychotherapy at the Montreal General Hospital. In 1962 he began to develop his technique for treating patients on a short-term basis, creating and studying videotapes of sessions.

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