Psychodynamic Therapy Techniques: A Guide to Expressive and Supportive Intervent

Description: Psychodynamic Therapy Techniques by Brian A. Sharpless Therapists help their patients improve through a combination of words and a therapeutic relationship. To do this effectively, practitioners need to know not only what to intervene on (i.e., how to identify and understand clinical problems) but also how to intervene (viz., what techniques to use). This book teaches therapists how to develop and use the many techniques of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Along with providing step-by-step instructions fortechniques, it also describes the characteristics of "good" interventions and provides tips for assessing their effectiveness. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Psychodynamic therapy has a growing evidence base, is cost-effective, and may have unique mechanisms of clinical change. However, gaining competence in this approach generally requires extensive training and mastery of a large and complex literature. Integrating clinical theory and research findings, Psychodynamic Therapy Techniques provides comprehensive but practical guidance on the main interventions of contemporary psychodynamicpractice. Early chapters describe the psychodynamic "stance" and illustrate effective means of identifying and understanding clinical problems. Later, the book describes how to question, clarify, confront, andinterpret patient material as well as assess the clinical impacts of interventions. With these foundational tools in place, the book supplements the "classic" psychodynamic therapy techniques with six sets of supportive interventions helpful for lower-functioning patients or those in acute crisis. Complete with step-by-step instructions on how to prepare techniques as well as numerous clinical vignettes to illustrate their use in clinical settings, Psychodynamic Therapy Techniqueseffectively demystifies this important approach to therapy and helps practitioners more effectively apply them to a wide range of patients and problems.

Repairing Ruptures in the Therapeutic AllianceAfterwordAppendix A: Psychodynamic Therapy Manuals and Models Review "Brian Sharpless presents a thoroughly up-to-date and unusually well-balanced view of modern psychodynamic therapy. He judiciously blends theory, practice and empirical research in an extremely readable, almost conversational, style. His outstanding effort is empirically sound, theoretically sophisticated, and contains a treasure of clinical examples that demonstrate how to apply expressive and supportive psychodynamic technique. Graduate students in clinical psychology, as well as clinicians already in practice, will profit greatly from its clinical wisdom, lively presentation and well-argued case for the enduring value of the psychodynamic approach to treatment." -- Stanley B.
