Psychodynamic psychotherapy. Clinical guide

An expanded and updated edition of a widely used practical guide to psychodynamic psychotherapy. It contains material that readers can immediately apply in their work with clients. The book is based on a unique and proven approach that teaches psychodynamic psychotherapy using revealing and supportive techniques, as well as three key stages - listening, reflecting, and intervening. These are applied to all aspects of therapy and are supported by fundamental psychotherapeutic practices such as assessment, empathetic listening, and setting boundaries. The book is written in clear language and contains carefully annotated examples. It has been translated into three languages: Chinese, Korean, and Farsi, and is adopted by educational programs from Harvard to Stanford. While maintaining the structure, clarity, and relevance that have made this revised edition one of the best resources in its field, the authors have added new research and numerous exercises to maximize its effectiveness in educational programs. The result is a valuable resource for those who aspire to teach, understand, and practice psychodynamic psychotherapy. The book is intended for a wide range of readers - students, graduate students, interns, residents, teachers, supervisors, as well as practicing psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and interested clients.
