Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Effectiveness Study
Objective: Both the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Psychological Association have called upon psychodynamic practitioners to start demonstrating their outcomes. This effectiveness study attempted to begin to answer these calls.
Results: Findings suggest that psychodynamic treatment, provided within this practice configuration, is effective over time, producing moderate effect sizes,and points to the particular importance of the first three months.
Conclusions: Findings suggest a common course of recovery, with some between-group variability.
