The book opens with an introduction to and history of the
experiential dynamic therapies (EDT) including the groundbreaking
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) of Habib
Davanloo and its subsequent development. The centrality of
relationship in therapy is emphasized and the current state of the
art and science described. Material from interviews with David
Malan is presented, sharing some of his experiences, thoughts and
insights over decades of clinical practice, research into and
promotion of short-term dynamic therapies. The essential
ingredients of experiential dynamic therapies are described, and
the reader is orientated to the practice of EDT. Key
characteristics of taking care of the real relationship, mirroring,
history taking, and putting into perspective are also presented. In
addition, high technical content, experiential-dynamic
interventions, including defense re-structuring, emotional
maieutics, anxiety regulation, dealing with the Super-ego,
connecting corners of the Triangle of Others, and Self- and Other-
Re-structuring are introduced and discussed. A coding system used
throughout the clinical chapters to clarify the nature, and
application, of therapist interventions is described. The
conceptualization of "character hologram" is explained in detail,
and illustrated with clinical material.Throughout the book,
annotated extracts from real therapy sessions are presented to
illustrate characteristics of EDTs in clinical practice and,
wherever possible, follow-up is presented. The clinical chapters
describe the application of experiential dynamic individual and
group approaches within the UK National Health Service and
Counselling Services, primarily, but also in other Countries having
similar public health services (Holland, Israel and Italy). The
relevance of experiential dynamic approaches in providing case
management and supervision, and in treating the more complex
presentations of common mental health problems is discussed. A
research chapter provides an overview of EDT-related research to
date. It is argued that EDTs represent a promising integration of a
number of therapeutic principles, and their place within current
mental health policy in the National Health Service in the UK is
outlined.
