Opis

This work presents a method of brief psychodynamic psychotherapy based on matching treatment to personality style. A team of researchers shows how time-limited therapy deals with the distinctive problems of hysterical, compulsive, narcissistic, and borderline patients. Detailed transcripts and commentary take the reader through the process for each personality type, demonstrating how the therapeutic alliance is established and how conflicts and distress are worked through. Although developed for working with a patient's current and focal problems, this work may also effect more pervasive changes. It is intended for clinicians at all levels.
