Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy

<p>Traditionally psychoanalytic treatment has been a lengthy endeavour requiring a long-term commitment from patient and analyst as well as vast financial resources. More recently short-term approaches to psychoanalytic treatment have proliferated. One of the most well-known and thoroughly studied is the groundbreaking method of <em>Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy</em> developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo. Having trained directly with Dr. Davenloo the author has written a clear concise outline of the method that has come to be regarded as a classic in the field. The book is organised in a systematic fashion analogous to the process of therapy itself from initial contact through to termination and follow-up. Detailed clinical examples are presented throughout the text to illustrate how theory is translated into techniques of unparalleled power and effectiveness.</p>
