This book is a concise, practical, step-by-step introduction to the principles of dynamic psychotherapy. Designed for psychotherapists who wish to learn more about dynamic psychotherapy, the emphasis is on the practical rather than the theoretical. The book opens with a description of the steps involved in conducting insight-oriented psychotherapy, then moves on to the modifications required for time-limited therapy, supportive and management techniques, and the combination or augmentation of psychotherapy with medications. Included are such topics as the significance of different patient-referral sources, recommendations on how to set up the initial appointment, and practical issues like the arrangement of office furniture and professional fees. The authors then turn to activities involved in beginning, conducting, and terminating psychotherapy. Their how-to approach provides mental health practitioners with sound and accessible guidance in a variety of clinical situations.
