The thirst to understand, to “know thyself,” is as strong as ever--despite managed care's demands, society's “quick fix” mentality, and psychopharmacology's remarkable progress--and goes a long way toward explaining the continued popularity of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy.
The first of five volumes in the groundbreaking Core Competencies in Psychotherapy series, this exceptionally practical text by a renowned expert introduces students and professionals to the basic principles of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy, focusing on long-term dynamic work with adults in individual therapy.
Unlike other texts, this concise yet comprehensive volume
The author's approach reflects his personal therapeutic style--developed over 25 years of practice--and draws from several theoretical models, illustrating the pluralism in the field today and his own synthesis of those diverse conceptual frameworks.
Beginning with a review of basic psychodynamic principles, the author then discusses how to assess patients, write a formulation, and think about indications and contraindications for long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy. In additional chapters, the author focuses on major issues such as starting the therapy, the use of interventions, goals and therapeutic action, ways to work with resistance, countertransference, the use of fantasies and dreams, and termination of therapy. The last two chapters cover the optimal use of supervision and how to measure core competency achievement.
Though written with the psychiatric resident in mind, this remarkably practical text will appeal to a broad audience of trainees in fields such as psychology, social work, counseling, and nursing. It will also be welcomed by educators and students alike as an invaluable teaching tool that can be “put to work” right away as a powerful adjunct to supervision, classroom teaching, and clinical experience with a variety of patients.
