The Patient as the Center - Integrating Psychodynamic Approaches with Other Mental Health Treatments

This practical guide shows counselors how to make the healing benefits of psychodynamic “talk therapy” available to any client, including those limited in available sessions by insurance, financial restrictions, or agency policy. The current mental health system relies on a single model of medication and behavior therapies, motivated by economic expediency rather than treatment quality, which results in a revolving door of treatment that leaves society constantly vulnerable to the impact of mental illness. As a remedy, Integrating Psychodynamic Approaches with Other Mental Health Treatments: The Patient as the Center offers the integration of psychoanalytic and behavioral therapies and practices that are consistently evaluated for effectiveness and customized to each patient’s needs. These include recognition of the complexity of mental illness, possible need for intervention throughout the life cycle, open access to treatment, adequate funding, long-term facilities, consistent retrofitting of treatments, and duration and frequency determined by patient-therapist arrangement. This resource is particularly useful for clinicians in training or early in their careers who are in the process of making decisions about the treatment approaches that make sense for them and their clients, as well as for the more seasoned clinicians jaded by bureaucracy that obstructs best treatment practice and seeking alternative approaches.
