Psychodynamic Treatment of Depression addresses the use of
psychodynamic psychotherapy, both alone and in combination with
cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and medication treatments, as
a method for reducing the psychological vulnerabilities that may
predispose patients to persistent symptoms or recurrence of
depression. Thoroughly revised and with new material, the second
edition reflects changes codified in the DSM-5 classification and
is intended for use by students, residents, or clinicians who are
trained in the practice of psychotherapy. The authors' extensive
clinical experience is thoroughly mined to provide techniques for
tailoring the psychodynamic psychotherapeutic approach to patients
with depression, and important topics such as narcissistic injury
and vulnerability, guilt, defense mechanisms, and suicidality are
addressed. The book is written in an accessible style and
structured logically to support the acquisition and enhancement of
psychotherapeutic skills through the systematic exploration of the
psychodynamic model of depression. The volume's noteworthy content
and features are many: * Just as patients' responses to medications
vary, responses to particular therapeutic interventions are
different in different patients. Accordingly, the authors locate
psychodynamic psychotherapy within the context of current
treatments for depression, including indications and
contraindications.* A multitude of detailed and compelling clinical
vignettes clearly illustrate the dynamics and techniques and
facilitate learning across diverse clinical roles and practice
settings.* A chapter on psychodynamic approaches to depression with
comorbid personality disorder has been added to the new edition,
because these disorders have been found to have an adverse effect
on treatment outcome, including diminished response to
antidepressants, reduced adherence to treatment, and longer time
period to achieve remission. There is a growing evidence base for
the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy, both alone and in
tandem with other treatment modalities. Psychodynamic Treatment of
Depression offers a robust model of psychodynamic therapy for
depression and the detailed strategies and techniques clinicians
need to improve outcomes with this significant patient group.
