Reihe: Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis

This book delivers a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the evidence for psychodynamic psychotherapy through explanations of research organized around therapy processes relevant to practicing clinicians and informed researchers.

Each chapter presents an event within dynamic therapy, from interpretation to termination, along with a narrative to help readers understand the why and the how of the process. Written in accessible and engaging language, each short chapter is a synthesis of findings in each topic area, going beyond subjects interesting only to researchers to aspects of practice relevant to therapists of all schools of thought.

The Evidence for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is written for therapists to pick up and put down between clients, for mental health researchers to quickly find support for a point they wish to make, and for educators to assign brief readings to bolster students’ confidence in dynamic therapy.
