Developing skills in psychodynamic psychotherapy and its techniques
is a lifetime endeavor. The third edition of this volume from
American Psychiatric Publishing's enduringly popular Concise Guides
series serves as an excellent starting point for mastering these
vital skills-skills that can be applied to many other psychiatric
treatment modalities, including other psychotherapies, medication
management, consultation-liaison psychiatry, outpatient and
emergency room assessment and evaluation, and inpatient treatment.
In a compact guide-complete with glossary, indexes, tables, charts,
and relevant references-designed to fit into a lab coat pocket, the
authors * Provide the clinician with an updated introduction to the
concepts and techniques of psychodynamic psychotherapy, describing
their usefulness in other treatments. For example, psychodynamic
listening and psychodynamic evaluation are best learned in the
context of psychodynamic psychotherapy training but are applicable
in many other psychiatric diagnostic and treatment methods. *
Convey the excitement and usefulness-as well as the difficulties-of
psychodynamic psychotherapy and its techniques, including case
examples. * Show the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of
psychotherapy in general, and of psychodynamic psychotherapy in
particular-issues of special importance in the evidence-based
practice of medicine and mental health care. * Explain the
advantages-and limitations-of each form of psychodynamic
psychotherapy: brief, long-term, and intermittent. For example,
psychotherapists must be able to recognize patterns of
interpersonal interaction without engaging in the "drama." Thus,
they must learn to recognize and understand their own reactions as
early indicators of events transpiring in the treatment and as
potential roadblocks to a successful treatment. Complementing more
detailed, lengthier psychiatry texts, this volume's 15 densely
informative chapters cover everything from basic principles to
patient evaluation, resistance and defense, transference and
countertransference, dreams, beginning and termination of
treatment, management of practical problems, brief and supportive
psychotherapy, and psychotherapy of borderline personality disorder
and other severe character pathologies. Mental health care
professionals everywhere will turn to this practical guide again
and again as an invaluable resource in creating and implementing
effective treatment plans for their patients.
