- How to evaluate patients for psychodynamic psychotherapy, including assessment of ego function and defenses
- The essentials for beginning the treatment, including fostering the therapeutic alliance, setting the frame, and setting goals
- A systematic way for listening to patients, reflecting on what you've heard, and making choices about how and what to say
- How to apply the Listen/Reflect/Intervene method to the essential elements of psychodynamic technique
- How these techniques are used to address problems with self esteem, relationships with others, characteristic ways of adapting, and other ego functions
- Ways in which technique shifts over time
This book presents complex concepts in a clear way that will be approachable for all readers. It is an invaluable guide for psychiatry residents, psychology students, and social work students, but also offers practicing clinicians in these areas a new way to think about psychodynamic psychotherapy. The practical approach and guided exercises make this an exceptional tool for psychotherapy educators teaching all levels of learners.

Praise for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Clinical Manual
"This book has a more practical, hands-on, active learning approach than existing books on psychodynamic therapy."
Bob Bornstein, co-editor of Principles of Psychotherapy; Adelphi University, NY
"Well-written, concise and crystal clear for any clinician who wishes to understand and practice psychodynamic psychotherapy. Full of real-world clinical vignettes, jargon-free and useful in understanding how to assess, introduce and begin psychotherapy with a patient. Extraordinarily practical with numerous examples of how to listen to and talk with patients while retaining a sophistication about the complexity of the therapeutic interaction. My trainees have said that this book finally allowed them to understand what psychodynamic psychotherapy is all about!"
—Debra Katz, Vice Chair for Education at the University of Kentucky and Director of Psychiatry Residency Training
"This volume offers a comprehensive learning guide for psychodynamic psychotherapy training."
—Robert Glick, Professor, Columbia University
