> It's the use of empathy and compassion, and the strong bond that is formed between patient and therapist, that sets psychodynamic therapy apart from psychoanalysis. A good psychodynamic therapist with a PhD in clinical psychology will be able to do so much more for a patient as far as helping them to peel away layers and connect with deep internal conflicts and buried emotions that are still driving one's behavior and impacting neurochemistry. This process is not easy and can take a fairly long time. The only real solution is often the most difficult and time consuming one.Thanks for answering my question. I was wondering why you didn't consider interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) modalities. I find IPT to be very helpful while not having to commit to such a protracted process as is psychodynamic therapy. They aren't totally dissimilar.
I'll go over to the Psychology board and look for your posts.
