Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research

There has been a recent surge in empirical research on psychoanalytic theories and treatments. This volume demonstrates the relevance of and scientific support for psychodynamic treatment across a wide range of diagnostic categories and treatment strategies.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research: Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence continues the important work of the first book published in 2009 by Humana Press (Handbook of Evidence-Based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice). This landmark title presents in one volume significant developments in research, including neuroscience research, in psychodynamic psychotherapy by a team of renowned clinician-researchers. The demand for ongoing research initiatives in psychodynamic psychotherapy from both internal and external sources has increased markedly in recent years, and this volume continues to demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of a psychodynamic approach to psychotherapeutic interventions in the treatment of psychological problems. The work in this volume is presented in the spirit of ongoing discussion between researchers and clinicians about the value of specific approaches to specific patients with specific psychiatric and psychological problems. Multiple forms of treatment interventions have been developed over the past fifty years, and this volume makes clear, with firm evidence, the authors' support for the current emphasis on personalized medicine. Groundbreaking and a major contribution to the psychiatric and psychologic literature, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research: Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence provides firm grounding for advancing psychodynamic psychotherapy as a treatment paradigm.

Demonstrates the relevance of and scientific support for psychodynamic treatment across a wide range of diagnostic categories and treatment strategies Presents the integration of clinical work and research through the scientist-practitioner model Includes enlightening clinical vignettes with discussion of the influence of the research on treatment Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
