Summary
This chapter is a summary of psychodynamic psychotherapy and includes elements of the theory and technique of psychodynamic psychotherapy. It starts with a brief description of what it is and drawing on work by Blagys and Hilsenroth. Seven key features of psychodynamic psychotherapy are described. There is a very brief outline of the various schools of psychotherapy in order to orient the reader. This is followed by brief practical sections explaining the differences between brief and long-term therapy, and between open-ended and closed therapy. Practicalities involved in combining therapy with psychotropic medication are discussed.
